# Activate Lightning Record or Home Pages

Is your custom Lightning page ready for your users? Use the Activation function inside the Lightning App Builder to get the page out to them. You can make your custom page the default page for all users, assign it to specific Lightning apps, or assign it to record types and profiles. Assigning the page to a Lightning app, record type, or profile gives your users access to a page customized for the context they’re working in.

1. Create a record or Home page, or open an existing one in the Lightning App Builder.
2. If you opened a page that is ready for your users, click **Activation**.
3. If you created a page or opened a page that needs adjustment, make the necessary changes, click **Save**, and then click **Activate**.
4. Choose how you want to activate the page.
    - Make the page the org default.
        
        After you activate a Lightning record page as the org default, it's selected as the Lightning Experience override for the View action in the Override Properties panel. Lightning record pages set as the org default become the default record page only for the object that they're associated with.
    - Make the page the default page for specific Lightning apps.
        
        If you activate a Lightning record page for specific Lightning apps only, the page takes precedence over the Lightning Experience Override setting for the View action on the object in those apps.
    - Assign the page to a combination of Lightning apps, record types, and profiles.
        
        Record type assignment is available only for record pages.
    - Assign the page to a form factor, such as a desktop or phone.
        
        This option isn't available for Home pages.
5. On the activation screen, click the tab for the option you’ve chosen, and follow the steps to activate the page.
    
    ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/images/icon_tip.png)
    
    Tip You can also assign home pages from Setup. Enter Home in the Quick Find box, and then select **Home**.
    
    - Classic apps can be viewed in Lightning Experience, but you can’t display different home pages assigned for specific apps and profiles. Upgrade Classic apps to Lightning apps from the App Manager to make home page assignments.
    - If you no longer want a page to be an app or org default, redo the activation process for the page, and select the option to remove it as the default.
    - If you activate a page and then return to make changes, you don’t have to activate it again. Clicking **Save** after you make your edits pushes the changes to your users.
