Einstein Setup is the umbrella Setup page for enabling and configuring all the Einstein features in your org — Einstein Activity Capture, Einstein Bots, Einstein Discovery, Einstein Search, Einstein Prediction Builder. It's the entry point; each feature has its own deeper setup page.

  1. Open Setup → Einstein Setup

    Setup gear → Quick Find: Einstein → Einstein Setup.

  2. Review the licensed Einstein features

    The page lists all Einstein products in your org with their license status (Enabled / Available / Not Licensed).

  3. Click into each feature for individual setup

    Most features have their own deeper Setup page reached via this dashboard. Click "Set Up" on each.

  4. Configure permissions

    Most Einstein features require a specific Permission Set License (PSL) plus a Permission Set granting access. Setup → Permission Set Licenses to verify availability.

  5. Save / activate per-feature

    Each Einstein feature has its own activation toggle. Einstein Setup is a dashboard, not a global on/off.

Gotchas
  • Einstein Setup is a dashboard, not a switch. The page lists features; each feature has its own Setup page where the actual config happens.
  • Einstein licenses are often add-ons. The dashboard shows what's licensed — features grayed out require purchase.
  • Some Einstein features have Permission Set License (PSL) limits — "100 users with Einstein Search PSL." Hitting the limit blocks new assignments.
