Edit Page Layouts via User Profiles

This task is normally done by a trained Salesforce administrator. To learn how to navigate Salesforce CRM, visit the Trailhead learning resource in the Help section of your Salesforce account.

Profiles define how users access objects and data, and what they can do within the application.

Follow the steps below to make page layout changes to the Salesforce Account Standard Object. (You will eventually repeat the steps for the Opportunities, Products, and Assets Standard Objects.)
