Visualforce Page Sections: Visibility Behavior in New, Edit, and Clone Page Layouts (Lightning Experience and Classic)

Known Platform Behavior (Not Configurable)

This is by design. There is no native way to display inline Visualforce page sections on the New record page layout in Lightning Experience, or on New, Edit, and Clone page layouts in Salesforce Classic. This limitation applies to inline VF pages and inline VF page sections.

Alternative Approaches

If your business requires Visualforce content to appear in contexts not supported by default, consider the following alternatives:

1. Lightning Web Components (LWC) with Quick Actions or Record Pages: Use LWC with the lightning__RecordAction or lightning__RecordPage target types to display custom content on New record forms and Edit pages in Lightning Experience.
2. Screen Flows on Record Pages: Use Screen Flows embedded on a Record Page Lightning component to show dynamic content on New and Edit pages.
3. Contact Salesforce Support: If neither alternative meets your business requirements, contact Salesforce Support with your full business use case for further guidance.
