Describe how to navigate the setup menu in Salesforce.com.
You can navigate to the setup menu from the top right of the screen, however, the location of the setup link will change based on the user interface and other settings. Examples:
- Lightning Experience
- Classic with “Enable Improved Setup User Interface” enabled
- Classic with “Enable Improved Setup User Interface” disabled
Once you’re in the setup menu, by far the most efficient way to navigate is to use the setup search bar in the top left. As you type, you will see only relevant menu options.
Navigation within the setup menu changes based the User Interface (e.g. see Lightning and Classic compared) as well as your configuration. Be aware that your results will vary accordingly.
If you have enabled Advanced Setup Search, then you can also hit enter to search metadata within Salesforce.
