The 3 types of Lightning Components available when creating a Lightning Record Page are: Standard, Custom and Custom-Managed.

Standard components are Lightning components built by Salesforce and include things such as List View Component, Related List Quick Links Component and Related Record Component.

Custom components are those that you or a developer have configured for your org.

Custom-Managed components are third party components from the AppExchange.

A fixed dashboard is one where the ‘View Dashboard As’ setting is fixed to a specific user. This is achieved by selecting ‘Another Person’ and choosing a specific user in the ‘View Dashboard As’ section.

This means that when users view the dashboard, they will view the data the ‘viewing as’ user has access to, potentially granting them visibility of data they wouldn’t usually have sight of.

The ‘View Dashboard As’ user can be set in the properties of the dashboard. In the following image, I have selected the ‘viewing as’ user to be Charlotte, the VP of Sales at Cloudy Computing. When other users view the dashboard, they will have visibility of all the data Charlotte can see. This could mean that users in subordinate roles i.e. Sales Team members may see each other's data.

An Administrator can create a bespoke user experience using themes and branding in Salesforce Lightning Experience. You can choose an in-built theme, however these cannot be modified. Alternatively, you can create a custom theme and choose brand images, colors, background, banner, and default avatar images. Custom themes can be created, previewed, activated and deleted. Only one theme can be active, you cannot have multiple active themes.

With Apps, you have the option to override the organization's theme; this means users will see the App’s brand image and navigation bar color, not the one defined in the custom theme.

There is no feature called Lighting Actions. Both Object Specific Actions and Global Actions respect validation rules. Quick Create (only available in Classic) does not respect validation rules.

A cross-object formula can reference fields from a master (parent) object if an object is on the detail side of a master-detail relationship. For example, if Application is the child object in a Master-Detail relationship with Job, we could use cross-object formulas to bring field values from the Job on to the related child Application.
