Generally, while working in lightning and classic experience we may have observed one thing that if the record detail page contains more than 3 buttons those are visible in classic record detail page but in lightning record detail page highlight panel only 3 buttons shows and other buttons show as drop down list. But sometime customer want to see buttons in lightning highlight panel itself without drop down. So we will know here how to place more action buttons in highlight panel, how many buttons we can place here and if any limitation is there or not.
We can see for below record, there is more than 3 buttons are available. But after 3, other buttons are showing in drop down list.
Follow below steps to place more action buttons in highlight panel.
Step: 1 Click on gear icon at top right. Click on Edit Page.
Step: 2 Click on Highlight panel section and in right side we see a number field (highlighted in below image). Need to enter how many number of action buttons we want to see in highlight panel. By default 3 will be there. We have entered 8 here.
