Lightning Extension Extension

Lightning Extension is a library of features created by the Lightning Product Management team at Salesforce. This extension is designed to complement the user experience with continuous productivity feature releases. These features provide end users with rich enhancements that aren’t available out-of-the-box with Lightning, like Dark Mode.

Admins can control which features are made available to their users. To control access to features, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Lightning Extension, and then select Lightning Extension. From there, you can change your users’ access to individual features, or access to the extension itself. Changes can take up to 24 hours to take effect.

Note: Dark mode is temporarily disabled. We’re working to make it available again.

User reviews

Kevin Campbell (ID: 00000038af5952ad) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/11/2023 I really like this plugin and rolled it out to our Salesforce users so that they don't have multiple tabs of Salesforce open, which is great with Lightning Sales Console. I wish Dark Mode would be made available. We have had no issues with Link Grabber.

icon

Spencer Brown (ID: 000000c97a72c078) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/01/2023 1. Link grabber sporadically stops working then starts working again for no apparent reason. 2. Put some effort into this people. Last release was 10 month ago and dark mode still unavailable. Our company is bailing on Lightning and writing their own GUI.

Ethan Gates (ID: 000000c653997620) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/26/2023 Please fix the link grabber, it was so useful. I don't want to have to re-learn how to use Salesforce after years of it working :(

icon

Samantha Johnson (ID: 0000000f49c56b3e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/25/2023 Link grabber feature not working :( this is so unfortunate

icon

Brent VanDyke (ID: 000000412663cb39) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/08/2023 Without dark mode, this plugin is functionally worthless to me - it's the only reason I cared to use it. Fortunately the 'Dark Reader' plugin, one I'd previously tried about a year ago only to find it mis-handled numerous lightning panes (not to mention killing load times), has been updated recently with a profile specific to Lightning that works quite well these days, and with no noticeable performance impact as far as I could discern.
