Create custom console apps in Lightning Experience the same way that you create other
Lightning Apps. Use the App Manager in Setup to customize your app’s color and branding, add a
utility bar and items, configure navigation rules, and assign the app to user profiles. You can
always come back and edit your console app at any time.

Needed
To view apps:
View Setup and Configuration
To manage apps:
Customize Application
From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter App, and then select
App Manager.
Click New Lightning App, and walk through the New Lightning App
wizard.
On the App Details and Branding page, give your app a name and description, set its
primary branding color, and give it a logo.
Tip The app description displays alongside the icon in the App Launcher. Make
the description meaningful to your users.
On the App Options page, select Console navigation. If you want
to use Lightning Service Setup, select Include Service Setup.
Service Setup is available only in orgs created before Spring '26.
On the Utility Bar page, add any utilities that you want your console users to work
with.
On the Select Items page, add the items you want to include in the console app.
On the Navigation Rules page, determine how you want records to open in your console
app. Choose an object and decide whether it opens as a workspace tab or as a subtab of a
related record.
Tip Use navigation rules to keep your console users efficient. For example,
define a rule so that when a user clicks a contact, it opens as a subtab of that
contact’s related account.
On the Assign to User Profiles page, select the profiles you want to access the console
app.
