Add the components to a record page

Sliick Files components are added to record pages in Lightning App Builder, on any standard or custom object. Do this once per page layout you want files on.

Add the file list

1. Open a record page, for example an Account or a Contact.
2. Click the gear icon → Edit Page.
3. Find fileList in the custom components panel and drag it onto the layout.
4. In the properties panel, set Topic Filter if you want the list to show only files assigned to a specific Salesforce Topic. It is optional.
5. Click Save → Activate.

There is no “Storage Location” property to set. The file list detects the org’s active storage provider automatically and reads and writes to the right place. You never configure storage per component.

Upload, delete, rename and replace are always available to users in the file list, along with search, sort, tags and version history. What each person can actually do is governed by their Salesforce record access, not by component configuration.

The other components

Sliick Files also ships profilePhotoDisplay and imageGallery, which display a record’s profile photo and its images. Both are added the same way and are documented in the Sliick Photos documentation.

Images uploaded through the file list appear in the gallery automatically, so most orgs add the file list first and the gallery only where a visual layout helps.

Experience Cloud pages

The file list and image gallery can also go on authenticated Experience Cloud pages, where destructive actions are hidden by default. See Experience Cloud pages.

Check it works before connecting storage

With no further configuration, Sliick Files keeps files in Salesforce Files. Confirm that works before you go near external storage:

1. Open a record page where you added the file list.
2. Upload a test file and confirm it appears.
3. Delete it and confirm it is removed.

If uploads fail, check that the test user has Sliick Files User, and that their profile grants the standard Salesforce Files access. That access is not managed by Sliick’s permission sets.
