# Change the Default Input Component for an Object-Based Custom Lightning Type

Customize the user interface by overriding the default component with a custom one tailored to your business needs. 

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions.</td></tr></tbody></table>

When you open a custom Lightning type, the UI Configuration tab provides a workspace with an Editor tab and a Renderer tab. By default, the Editor tab contains a default input component in the Editor Override section. You can override this component with your own custom LWC component.

1. Open the object-based custom Lightning type that you want to configure.
2. Select the **UI Configuration** tab.
3. From the Channel dropdown, select the Salesforce application that you want to configure.
    - **Experience Builder** configures the component for Experience Builder sites.
4. Select the **Editor** tab.
5. In the Editor Override section, to override the default input component, click **Change**.
6. In the Select an Input Component window, select your custom input LWC component, and click **Done**.
7. Save your work.
