What is the first step to add Search Layout buttons in Salesforce?

The first step to add Search Layout buttons in Salesforce involves navigating to a specific area within the Setup menu. By selecting the option that directs you to Setup and then to Customize, and subsequently to Leads, you gain access to the Search Layouts section, which is specifically designed for managing how list views and search results present information regarding leads.

In this section, you can customize various layouts to include or modify buttons that will appear in the search results for leads. This setup process is crucial for tailoring the Salesforce interface to better suit user needs, allowing for an optimized user experience when interacting with lead data.

The other options, while they might pertain to different functionalities within Salesforce, do not lead you to the specific area where Search Layout buttons can be added. Opening the Leads object directly or going to the Apps section would not provide access to the customization needed for search layouts. Similarly, accessing the Lead List View settings does not direct you to the correct configuration area for managing search layouts.
