# Create Records in Feeds

If your administrator set up this action, you can create records in the feed on the home page, the Chatter tab, and record detail pages. Publishers on different feeds offer different actions.

### 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: Salesforce Classic</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: all editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

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

        </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="d39255e58">User Permissions

          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td data-label="User Permissions Needed" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d39255e58 ">To create records:</td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d39255e58 ">Create on the object for the kind of record you’re creating</td>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

1. In the publisher, click the quick action that corresponds to the kind of record you want to create.
    
    For example, to add a contact to an account, navigate to the account’s detail page and select **Create Contact**.
2. Enter values in the fields. Fields with a red bar (![Required](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-basics-264-0-0-production-enus/d8bf6981-f8ef-4f16-bfbd-c42ed32044eb/basics/images/basics_required_field_red_bar.png)) are required fields.
    
    Salesforce Help includes field definitions for most objects. Search the help for the object name + “fields”. For example, if you’re creating or editing an account record, look up “Account Fields” in Salesforce Help.
3. When you finish entering values for your new record, click **Create**.
