# Add a Highlights Panel to the Console in Salesforce Classic

The highlights panel is a customizable table of up to four columns at the top of every primary tab in a console. It helps users see key information at a glance.

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small permission">

A highlights panel can include any standard or custom fields that have already been added to a page layout. Each panel can have a minimum of one column of fields and a maximum of four columns. Each column can have one or two fields in top or bottom positions.

When users see a highlights panel, top fields appear in bold and in a larger font than bottom fields. Users can only see fields that they have permission to view—otherwise fields appear blank. When both fields appear blank in a column, the column appears blank.

To display highlights panels in a console, you must turn them on.

1. Edit any page layout and click **Layout Properties**.
2. Check Highlights Panel, and click **OK**.
3. Click **Save**
