Where You Can Use Visualforce in Lightning Experience

Where You Can Use Visualforce in Lightning Experience

• Open a Visualforce Page from the App Launcher
• Add a Visualforce Page to the Navigation Bar
• Display a Visualforce Page within a Standard Page Layout
• Add a Visualforce Page as a Component in the Lightning App Builder
• Launch a Visualforce Page as a Quick Action
• Display a Visualforce Page by Overriding Standard Buttons or Links

The largest difference between Visualforce in Lightning Experience and Visualforce in Salesforce Classic is the environment it runs in. In Salesforce Classic, Visualforce “owns” the page, the request, the environment. Visualforce is the application container. But in Lightning Experience, Visualforce runs inside an iframe that’s wrapped inside the larger Lightning Experience container.
