Now, it's time to bring your team to Lightning (if they haven't switched already)!

Then, once everyone's in Lightning, you'll remove any old buttons in Classic to avoid confusion.

While the time it takes to bring your team to Lightning may vary, your actual steps should take 20-30 minutes. Let's dive in!

Bring your team to Lightning

Make sure to share the Welcome to Lightning! (for Classic Users) article with your team, and ask them to switch over as soon as possible!

And make sure to let them know about all of the great new features available to them exclusively in Lightning.

Remove old Classic buttons

Once all of your users have started using Lightning, make sure to remove old Classic buttons from your page layouts.

Not only will this fully transition everyone to Lightning, it will also help your users avoid confusion and set them up on the path to success in Lightning!
