We can update the record in Salesforce Lighting record pages using the Edit button. I usually perform large data updates using tools like Data Loader, but it is better to do it with the edit button on the record page when you have to update or modify a record or two.
However, when I tried to update an opportunity record using the Edit button, the button was not visible on the record page.
Generally, whenever we open a record page related to any object in Salesforce Lightning, an Edit button is available on the Salesforce Lightning Page. The role of this Edit button is to edit or modify the details of an object record.
I noticed that the Edit button was mistakenly removed from the page layouts of the Opportunity object. In this Salesforce tutorial, I will explain the issue and the solution for the missing Edit button on the Lightning record page.
