Upgrade Record Components to LWC Technology

Update record components in your Aura sites to run on Lightning Web Component (LWC) technology, and see improved accessibility and stylistic changes.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
Applies to: Aura sites
Important
Important Starting in Winter ’25, the Create Record Form, Record Banner, and Record Detail components are eligible for upgrade. In Summer ’25, the upgrade is enforced for all orgs. We strongly recommend that you test all customized record components before the update.

If your record components use custom CSS, the upgrade can cause breaking changes. We strongly recommend that you turn on the setting and test all your record components, in either a sandbox or an unpublished org, before publishing your changes. The setting can be turned off until Summer ’25.

To upgrade your components:

  1. From Setup | Digital Experiences, go to Settings.
  2. Under Experience Management Settings, select Use Lightning web components on your record pages in Aura sites.

CSS Equivalents in Aura and LWC Components
