# Override a Standard Action with an Aura Component

You can override a standard action with an Aura component in both Lightning Experience and mobile.

You need at least one Aura component in your org that implements the `lightning:actionOverride` interface. You can use a custom component of your own, or a component from a managed package.

Go to the object management settings for the object with the action you plan to override.

1.  Select **Buttons, Links, and Actions**.

2.  Select **Edit** for the action you want to override.

3.  Select **Lightning component** for the area you want to set the override.

4.  From the drop-down menu, select the name of the Lightning component to use as the action override.

5.  Select **Save**.

**note:** Users won’t see changes to action overrides until they reload Lightning Experience or the Salesforce mobile app.
