Use Record Page Settings to switch the org default record view to Full View, then opt in the specific org-default Lightning pages that should use it. Do this in a sandbox first and test against records that carry many related lists.

  1. Open Record Page Settings

    In Setup, type Record Page Settings into the Quick Find box and select the page. Confirm you are working in a sandbox or test org before changing the org default.

  2. Choose Full View as the default

    Change the default record page view from Grouped View to Full View. Salesforce then lists the Lightning pages currently set as org defaults, grouped by Desktop and Phone form factors.

  3. Select which pages use Full View

    Pick the org-default pages that should render in Full View. Pages assigned only to a specific app, profile, and record type are not affected by this screen, so plan those through page activation instead.

  4. Save and test on heavy records

    Save the setting, then open a record with a long stack of related lists on both desktop and phone. Watch load time and scrolling, and back a page out if performance drops.

The core toggle. Grouped View keeps details and related lists in tabs and sections; Full View shows them together in one scrollable column.

Form factor selectionremember

When enabling Full View, choose separately for Desktop and Phone, since the org-default pages and their performance can differ by device.

Full View applies only to pages holding the org default assignment for an object, so the screen lets you opt those specific pages in rather than flipping every page at once.

Gotchas
  • Full View is not available in every org. Salesforce gates it for performance, so the option may be missing or limited depending on your configuration.
  • Only org-default pages can use Full View. Pages assigned to a specific app, record type, and profile combination keep Grouped View regardless of this setting.
  • A single-column layout can feel slow on records with many related lists. Test against your busiest objects before rolling it out widely.
  • Grouped View was not retired when Full View shipped. Both remain valid, so treat this as a preference, not an upgrade you must take.
