Classic Builder overview

Applies to Classic App Builder. Screens and recordings in this section show the Classic interface.

The Classic builder places the app canvas beside its component palette. Parameters, Actions, Overlays, and Variables are in the top toolbar.

Maintain an existing app

1. Identify the affected page, resource, and user task.

2. Review the current component settings, bindings, and actions.

3. Make the change in an appropriate test environment using synthetic records.

4. Check expected behavior and a failure case.

5. Test and publish using the workflow available in your Classic app.
