# Implement Salesforce Foundations

After you’ve reviewed the considerations and determined which foundational features to add, you’re ready to set up the suite experience. Turn on user interface and navigation settings, assign permissions to users, and set up features across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Commerce Cloud, and Data Cloud.

- **[Salesforce Foundations Setup](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.base_salesforce_foundations_setup.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Save time and effort with the Salesforce Foundations setup page, your primary setup experience powered by Salesforce Go. After you review the considerations, turn on foundational features from a single page and manage feature and app availability. Your Salesforce Foundations license unlocks the entire page.
- **[User Interface and Navigation Enhancements](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.base_ui_nav.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Learn how to turn on the user interface features that come with Salesforce Foundations. Boost your productivity with simplified navigation and manage app visibility for your users.
- **[Permission Set Groups for Salesforce Foundations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.base_manage_access.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Give users access to Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Commerce Cloud, and Data Cloud for Salesforce Foundations. To save you time on permission assignment, Salesforce Foundations comes with standard permission set groups. These permission set groups are made up of standard permission sets that grant users access to common features and functionality based on user jobs. If you prefer permission sets for user management, assign the standard permission sets instead. To grant users access to other foundational features, review the corresponding Salesforce documentation.
- **[Sales for Salesforce Foundations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.base_sales.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    If you have one of the supported editions, you have the foundational Sales features that come with Salesforce Foundations, and there is no setup. Review user interface and navigation settings that can help your sales teams work more efficiently. To incorporate a lighter, faster way to build emails into your Sales experience, enable Email Builder Lite. To handle billing and invoicing directly in Salesforce, turn on Invoice Management. If you upgraded from Starter or Pro Suite to another edition, you keep foundational Sales features and previous permission set group assignments.
- **[Set Up Service for Salesforce Foundations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.base_setup_service.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Assign the General User or Service User permission set group. These permission set groups grant users access to features like the Foundations Service Console.
- **[Set Up Data Cloud for Salesforce Foundations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.base_setup_data_cloud.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    After the required products for Salesforce Foundations are added, you’re ready to set up Data Cloud for Salesforce Foundations.
- **[Set Up Marketing for Salesforce Foundations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.base_setup_marketing.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Configure the required email settings and give users access to the Marketing app.
- **[Set Up Commerce for Salesforce Foundations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.base_setup_commerce.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Assign users access to the Commerce app and features.
