You've switched to Lightning, and all your colleagues have said goodbye to Classic - congratulations! In this article, we'll remove old Classic buttons from various page layouts. You've got actions now, so no need for those buttons anymore - and they don't work in Lightning, anwyay.

Here's what we'll do:
