# Customize Standard and Custom Buttons on Page Layouts

When customizing page layouts, you can control which standard and custom buttons are displayed and the order in which the custom buttons appear.

1. From the management settings for the object whose page layout you want to customize, go to **Page Layouts**.
2. Click **Edit** next to the page layout you want to customize.
3. Add, remove, or reorder the buttons on the layout.
    
    This process is different depending on which editor you’re using.
    
    - In the enhanced page layout editor, select the **Buttons** category on the palette and drag one or more buttons from the palette to the buttons section on the page layout. To remove a button, drag it from the layout back to the palette.
    - In the original page layout editor, double-click the **Detail Page Buttons** item in the Button Section.
4. Save the page layout.

Note Standard and custom buttons are also considered actions. In Lightning Experience, buttons are displayed along with quick actions in different places on a record page depending on the button type.
