How Lightning App Builder page types and activation options decide who sees a page, the limits of the standard components that exams like to test (List View, Report Chart, Rich Text, Related Record, Visualforce Page), and how to read the Analyze button against the Lightning Usage App when a page is slow.

- Certification: Salesforce Platform Administrator II
- Exam section: Objects and Applications

**Official exam objective:**

> Given a scenario, determine the appropriate solution to enhance or extend the UI/UX with applications (App Manager, Lightning App Builder, Dynamic Forms, standard Lightning page components, Console, and Lightning page analyze button).

## What the exam expects

- Choose a Lightning page type and an activation option (org default, app default, app plus record type plus profile, form factor) for a requirement.
- Predict what each activation choice does, including which options a Home page lacks.
- Pick the standard component for a requirement and know the List View, Report Chart, Rich Text, Related Record and Visualforce Page limits.
- Interpret an Analyze result, apply Salesforce's page performance recommendations, and know when the Lightning Usage App answers the question instead.

Key terms:
- **Activation:** the Lightning App Builder step that assigns a page to users.
- **Org default:** the page made the default for all users; for a record page, only on its own object.
- **Performance Analysis for App Builder:** the tool behind the Analyze button that predicts one page's load time.
- **Experienced Page Time (EPT):** the page load measure Salesforce uses for performance.
- **Lightning Usage App:** an app that reports real usage across the org, such as most-viewed and slowest pages.

- When does activating a record page as the org default change another object's page?
- Why can't a List View component show a custom title?
- Which tool shows page load time by browser across the org?
