# Create Console Components in Salesforce Classic

Developers and administrators typically follow these steps when creating components for a Salesforce console.

Even though you can create a variety of console components to solve many types of business problems, the process for creating components generally follows these steps.

Note

Due to third-party cookie restrictions in modern web browsers, Visualforce pages can’t load in Salesforce Classic console apps when third-party cookies are disabled. See [Visualforce Limitations in Salesforce Classic When Third-Party Cookies are Blocked](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=003786014&type=1&language=en_US).

1. Developers create a Visualforce page or a canvas app.
2. Administrators add the Visualforce page or canvas app to page layouts to display content on specific pages or console apps to display content across all pages and tabs.
3. Administrators who add a component to page layouts choose the sidebar in which the console displays, such as right, left, top, or bottom, then select whether to add multiple components to a sidebar and arrange them as either a stack, tabs, or accordion
4. Administrators who add a component to apps specify the look and feel of the button used to access the component from the console’s footer, then assign the component to each console where they want users to access it
5. Users view the component when they access page layouts or click a button in the footer of a console.
