# Customize Buttons on the Tabbed Activity Composer

If your page layouts have been customized and you don’t see the Log a Call, New Event, New Task, or Send an Email buttons on the tabbed activity composer, you can add them. Just add the appropriate buttons to the Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions section of page layouts.

### Required Editions

Make sure the actions you want to add are included in the Global Publisher layout.

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small permission">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:50%">
          <col style="width:50%">
        </colgroup>
        <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">
          <tr class="">
            <th scope="colgroup" class="slds-cell-wrap" colspan="2" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:top;" id="d136959e32">User Permissions Needed</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td data-label="User Permissions Needed" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d136959e32 ">To add buttons to page layouts:</td>
            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d136959e32 ">Customize Application and Modify All Data</td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

<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 in: <strong>Essentials</strong>, <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

1. View the page layout for the object you want to update.
2. Make sure buttons for **New Task**, **New Event**, **Log a Call**, and **Send an Email** (not Send Email) are added to the Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions section of the page layout.

Make sure your users have permission to create new tasks and events, log calls, and send email.
