As a user, you want to add some fields to the customer list and then remove some fields from the customer list. Is this possible and, if so, how can you accomplish this task?

You can't add and remove fields as a user. You will have to ask an IT professional to do this for you.

You can only do this when you have the right permission set and only in a sandbox environment. The changes then need to be transferred from the sandbox to the live environment.

As a user, you can personalize pages like the customer list. In the App bar, select the Settings icon and then select Personalize. You can then add and remove fields from your customer list.

You can't customize pages for just one user; you can only do this for all users. You need to ask a developer to create an extension for this task.

You must answer all questions before checking your work.
