• (2023-02-08) Nicholas Zozaya: Time saver, great for navigating lightning experience quickly and efficiently UPDATE - Updating custom settings in LEX directs me to Classic. When I try to edit a setting from that page I get an error from Salesforce, probably because the redirect url upon clicking "Edit" on the setting is breaking when launched from a classic UI. Updating settings is a big part of the ISV workflow.
• (2023-01-25) Jorms Murkboy: Changed my review from 2/5 to 5/5 now that the Lightning / Classic issue is fixed. This extension is so awesome! EDIT: Changed it back to 2/5. Same issues have been happening at this point for over a year. It is a cool tool, but not executed very well.
• (2023-01-13) Amir Lindsay-Khaledi: navigating to flows and certain objects are still taking me to Salesforce classic. Anyone have any fixes for this?
• (2022-10-13) Lodewijk Henneveld: Works reasonably well however, one game breaking issue for me is that some navigations go to the classic and not the lightning page. For example, going to the Flows page in setup. As that's going to be ALL low code automation for Salesforce in the future. This is a glaring issue. Will update to 5 if it's fixed!
• (2022-09-23) Julian Acito: Most important Salesforce extension out there - Shft+Ctrl+Space to get to any setup pages. Only feedback is that it still navigates to the Classic version of some pages.
• (2022-06-13) Kate Hedberg: It was a welcome addition when I first installed, but many of the links (especially to Setup>User) are broken. They redirect to the setting's Classic page or an empty/outdated page in Lightning. I'm an admin, so the User menu is an everyday thing. I find myself using this navigator less and less when I was so excited at first. But even in the six months I've been using it, I've noticed more and more links breaking. Like so much, it's quickly becoming obsolete without updates. I don't need more functionality, just fix the current features!
• (2022-03-10) Muse Operations: Super useful. However I switch between a mac and a PC and can never remember the shortcut because they are different for each.
• (2021-10-14) Maria Huemmer: Amazing! I easily save 1/3 of my time with this tool!
• (2020-09-15) cao tan: It's not working for search object
• (2020-07-18) Poh Yao Chong: Amazing tools, make life easy! Well done!
• (2020-04-01) While this extension is super useful, it's still got some kinks to fix. A lot of the links that come up redirect to classic which can be really frustrating because then I can't navigate back in the first place! In addition, some links that have changed (such as for flows) have not been updated for two releases now which is disappointing. Feels like it should be just a few quick fixes to repair this, but there haven't been any updates in ages.
• (2020-02-10) Nick Wu: it's an amazing tool for doing works both lightning and classic, can we also customize the shortcut?
• (2020-02-03) Absolutely Essential to Salesforce Administration and Development - Using the search feature has been a game changer in terms of reduction of time and effort to work in Salesforce. Its functionality is considered a MUST HAVE.
• (2019-10-08) Ian Kang: Very useful tool, but there are rooms for improvement. For example, it takes me back to Classic UI which I hate.
• (2019-09-25) Ben Gottesman: This is a must have utility for Salesforce admins and anyone else who is constantly moving around to different parts of Salesforce (different objects, setup, reports, etc.). The Classic version of the utility was good but sometimes had to be refreshed. Lightning version of the utility is much more reliable.
• (2019-07-16) David Cheng: A big THANK YOU for porting this to Lightning. Note that there are still some instances in which this version does not work in Lightning or Classic. When you try to invoke the navigation bar, there's an error in the browser console: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null at <anonymous>:2:48 (anonymous) @ VM312:2" and "document.getElementById("sfnav_searchBox").style.zIndex = 9999" Haven't been able to determine what setting or characteristic of the instance causes the issue. Note that the original version doesn't work in these instances either, but there's no console error then.
• (2019-07-11) Jake Richter (jprichter): This extension keeps me from switching to classic.
• (2019-04-22) Ian Wilson: My company is in the process of transitioning to Lightning and I was terrified when I realized that the original "Salesforce Navigator" extension wasn't compatible. It was an absolute game changer for me as a Salesforce admin & developer. Luckily I found this amazing extension, which takes all of the benefits of the original and adds a number of features that are huge improvements (such as the ability to login as another user on the fly). I'm very grateful that this was developed - it should be #1 on the list of must-haves for any Salesforce admin. You'll never be able to live without it once you try it.
• (2019-04-18) David Smith: Fantastic that this works in Lightning! It's a shame that it doesn't work automatically in classic, I operate across 40 or so instances so it's not really viable to add the necessary settings to each org. However, the old version still works so I just run both.
• (2019-04-04) Michael Beaty: I have missed this functionality since Salesforce Lightning came out. Often colleagues would switch to Classic just to develop with this tool, with it available in lightning now, it has substantially increased the speed with which I can work and configure the system. Thank you so much for putting this together, I have missed this functionality greatly!!
• (2019-03-14) Jason True: Works great! Loving it in classic and lightning

• (2023-02-23, v:3.2.25) Denis Kirchen: Navigator Bar isn't showing up anymore
  Since a few weeks (maybe since Spring 23 release, but I'm not 100% sure), I can't call the Navigator bar anymore. I've tried to change the shortcut combination & tested on several web browsers based on CHromium (ie. brave, arc, chrome) & set up a CSP Trusted Site Definition for our Classic domain → Navigator bar doesn't work anymore. Weirdly, other features provided by extension still work ie. shortcut to tasks or reports. Do you maybe know where the issue comes from ?
• (2022-10-13, v:3.2.13) Lodewijk Henneveld: Nagivating to Flow page
  Hi! My problem is that navigator is taking me to the Classic version of the Flow page. I'm running the latest Chrome version and am using the ctrl + shift + space functionality. I use Tab to go the the Flows option and hit enter. I'm always taken to the classic version of the flows page.
• (2022-09-29, v:3.2.13) Give Clarity: Data Access/Privacy Policy
  Hi, Please can you confirm what data is accessed by this plugin - is it just metadata? Also have you got a privacy policy. Many thanks, Kate Bowe
• (2022-09-15, v:3.2.13) Paul Harrison: Bug regarding multiple objects with same name
  There is a bug that if your org has two objects with the same name/label (IE a managed package called "payments" and a custom object called "payments") the "List Payments" etc functions only display one
• (2022-09-08, v:3.2.13) Zach Barker: Themes are not applying when selected
  Using this in chrome and I can search for the themes but when I select the value from the drop down list nothing happens.
• (2022-09-07, v:3.2.13) Fernando Gavinho: Enhanced Domains
  Extension is not working now in instances with enhanced domains, eg: https://client--dev13.sandbox.lightning.force.com/
• (2022-08-31, v:3.2.13) Celia Astheimer: Chrome error
  Hello! I love this extension and have used it for years... however recently I've started having an issue accessing some pages from the extension - custom object pages are affected in all orgs I've tried so far. I'm receiving an error: invalid is blocked This page has been blocked by Chrome ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT I assume this is probably a Chrome security setting causing the issue but don't recall changing any of my chrome settings. Any idea what it might be? Thank you!
• (2022-08-20, v:3.2.13) Adam: Issues when accessing Custom Object's fields
  Hi, I'm a SF developer, and I have a few issues there: 1. When you trying to access e.g. "Setup > Custom Object > SOME OBJECT HERE" - you have a wrong link with something like "chrome-extension://pbjjd...lklh/01I0O00000xxxxx?setupid=CustomObjects". Kinda broken, other links seems ok. 2. Why I cannot find objects by API names? Commonly I using API Names to reference to concrete objects. It's very annoying. 3. If I have managed/custom object e.g. "Quote" and I have a standard object "Quote" - it's showing only links related to standard "Quote". I JUST WANT TO OPEN FIELDS IN SETUP FOR CUSTOM OBJECT for god sake, will be beautiful if it will be combined with item 2 and I can see difference between custom object Quote and standard Object Quote, not just different path "Setup > object" etc.
• (2022-08-09, v:3.0.10) James Markey: Most navigation is sent to Classic
  There had been a previous update that split hyperlinks between Classic and Lightning, using new navigation bar labels for the Lightning links and the old hyperlinks for the Classic links. It looks like those duplicates were removed, but all that now remains is the Classic links. This extension has been borderline un-usable for the past 3 or 4 months.
• (2022-07-15, v:3.0.10) Vincent Mazza: Classic Only Most of the TIme?
  I too am getting sent to the classic UI in probably 80% of my use of this extension now. Might there be an update coming soon? Thanks.
• (2022-07-14, v:3.0.10) Hiếu Trần Trung: it only switch to classic navigation
  When I check for navigation in both sandbox and production it always navigate me to classic layout instead of lightning layout. How to prevent this ?
• (2022-07-08, v:3.0.8) Ben Gottesman: Navigator taking me to Classic
  I noticed a change in Navigator recently where it was offering navigation to both Lightning and Classic. For instance, if I type 'Users', it offers choices of both Users Setup > Manage Users > Users The former takes me to the proper page in Lightning, the latter to Classic. Lately, it doesn't offer the Lightning choices and it keeps taking me to Classic.
• (2022-06-10, v:3.0.6) Francisco Peleato: Working in some orgs but not others
  I manage a few different Salesforce orgs and the navigator will work in some but not in others. Any idea why this could be the case?
• (2022-06-08, v:3.0.6) Siddhant Arya: Control + Shift + Spacebar not working
  I am unable to open navigator search by using Ctrl + Shift + Space. Could you please help. I am using custom domains for my org. Is there any way to customise shortcut commands
• (2022-04-15, v:2.7.2) Not working anymore :(
  Updated to latest Chrome version and turned on some session settings in SF... not sure what caused it but plugin is grayed out. Shortcut doesn't open Navigator anymore. Shame because I used this so often.
• (2021-11-19, v:2.7.2) Alekhya Mandadi: control + shift + space isn't working
  control + shift + space isn't working
• (2021-10-29, v:2.7.2) David Cheng: Uncaught TypeError only in some orgs
  Again, the strange thing about this error is that it occurs in some orgs but not others. In most orgs, the extension works fine for me and I don't even have to configure the CSP trusted site.
• (2021-10-29, v:2.7.2) David Cheng: CSP Trusted Sites
  I've tried creating a CSP Trusted Site for both the Classic and Lightning URLs and enabled all the directives, and it still doesn't work. I still get the "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null" in the console.
• (2021-10-28, v:2.7.2) Katherine King: CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE
  doesnt open navigator :(
• (2021-07-13, v:2.7.2) Ctrl+Shift+Space shortcut not working
  I used this at another company and I've got the CSP trusted site setup same as it was there but the shortcut still seems to not be working. Related to some version of Chrome or something? Would be a shame to have to go without this awesome extension since I'd really come to rely on it.
• (2021-06-21, v:2.7.2) Samarth Tholia: Unable to open the search box using any shortcut.
  The search box doesn't show up using the default Ctrl+Shift+Space. I also tried changing the chrome shortcut to some other combination, but still doesn't work. Please help how can I open the search box. Other three shortcuts are working fine (Open Tasks, Open Reports, Open Lightning App Menu) P.S. I am using Lighnting.
• (2021-04-16, v:2.7.2) Conner Kinsner: Product -> Product2
  when navigating to native Product object setup, it tries to navigate to 'Product' instead of 'Product2'. Product2 is the correct api name. When attempting to navigate to 'Product' it redirects to the object manager home.

• (2020-08-01, v:2.5.2) Kevin Luptowski: App Manager / Lightning Record Pages
  It would be amazing to include the lightning-only setup options! For example: > App Manager or [Object] > Lightning Record Pages Thanks!
• (2020-06-24, v:2.5.2) Jason Mower: This site can't be reached
  Starting 6/22/2020 I've been getting 'This site can't be reached' whenever I use the plugin. I'm not sure if this is unique to me or if others are getting it but I can't use the extension any more.
• (2020-06-17, v:2.4.9) Solo Admin: Flows shortcut doesn't work in lightning
  Hi! I love this extension, it saves me tons of time every day. Thank you! Just one thing that seems to need to be updated - the Flows shortcut doesn't work. It directs to https://my.lightning.force.com/lightning/setup/InteractionProcesses/home which doesn't work. The correct link is https://my.lightning.force.com/lightning/setup/Flows/home If you could update that it would be awesome! Thanks in advance :)
• (2020-05-19, v:2.4.9) Joe Lavin: "Failed to Load Source Map"

• (2020-04-20, v:2.4.9) Jonathan Stickling: Not launching in Chrome for Lightning

• (2020-03-30, v:2.4.9) Roy Rozentouler: Links were changed
  When trying to search for few terms (Flow, Process builder, Time sheet settings(not obj) ) it seems as SF changed there url so the extensions do not go to the right place. Can you fix it? The is one awesome extension !! Thanks
• (2020-03-04, v:2.4.9) Luis Valenzuela: Great work!
  Having used Salesforce Navigator in classic and feeling like my hands had been cut off when moving to lightning, this has definitely been a welcome discovery and must have for LEX development/admin. I'd really like to see access to the object definition by api name as per the old extension, selfishly because there's many times where customers have similar Labeled objects so search by namespace first helps us identify the correct object. Thanks for the extension.
• (2020-02-14, v:2.4.9) Rosalina Livingston: Salesforce Navigator Extension Not Working
  I have used Salesforce Navigator in a previous Salesforce org. I am trying to add the extension again and it's not working.
• (2020-02-04, v:2.4.9) Jarosław Kołodziejczyk: Dark mode compatibility
  Hi, it would be great if this extension was compatible with dark mode in salesforce, search results are ok but it would be great if either search bar was the same color as results, or just change search text to white.
• (2020-01-26, v:2.4.9) Erica Perez: Nothing happening
  Hello, I have just installed but have been unable to successfully get the search screen to show up. CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE is doing nothing for me. When I click on the extension in the browser header, I am not prompted with any settings to change the keys. Any suggestions?
• (2019-12-11, v:2.4.9) Simon Ooley: Open Search Box Error
  I am unable to execute the Open Search Box command (SHIFT + COMMAND + SPACE). All other Shortcuts work well. Is there anything I am doing that would block or cause the command not to work? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
• (2019-11-20, v:2.4.9) David Cheng: Uncaught TypeError
  There are some instances where the action bar doesn't appear in Lightning or Classic. When you try to invoke it, there's an error in the browser console: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null at <anonymous>:2:48 (anonymous) @ VM312:2" and "document.getElementById("sfnav_searchBox").style.zIndex = 9999" Haven't been able to determine what setting or characteristic of the instance causes the issue.

• (2019-11-13, v:2.4.9) Brett Martin: Unable to open Search box
  I have tried changing the Shortcut commands but am still unable to get the Search box to open. All other features/shortcuts work, just not what is normally mapped to CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE.
• (2019-10-28, v:2.4.9) Brent Mennen: Field Service Objects
  Whenever I try to go to any object related to field service I am directed to about:blank. All other objects seem to be working fine.
• (2019-10-18, v:2.4.9) David Smith: Flow path broken
  The current "Flow" shortcut goes to /lightning/setup/InteractionProcesses/home, instead of /lightning/setup/Flows/home
• (2019-09-23, v:2.4.9) Daniel Deepak: Option menu for the extension is not working
  I disabled the extension and enabled it. After that the option menu is greyed out I couldn't access them and the extension is also not working
• (2019-09-04, v:2.4.9) Kristen Owens: Product2 Object
  Hi! I've noticed a bug with the Lightning Navigator plugin - the links to the Product object reference the deprecated object with the API Name "Product", rather than the actual object currently in use by the platform, "Product2". Going to the List Product/New Product links takes you to an error screen, but interestingly going to Product > Fields for example still takes you to an object definition. It is just not the right object's definition. For pure Sales or Service Orgs, Product is not *always* a key object. However for any admin with CPQ/Q2C, this is definitely a major problem. Thanks for looking into it!
• (2019-08-27, v:2.4.9) Michael Beaty: Any possibility of working with Managed Package Objects?
  I work with the NPSP and EDA managed packages from Salesforce.org quite frequently, any change this will/can be updated to work with the Custom Objects that come in managed packages? It seems to partially work in Classic, i.e. I can get to the Object page from Home, but in Lightning it doesn't seem to recognize them at all.
• (2019-08-20, v:2.4.9) Joshua Dreiling: Accessing Lightning Experience pages
  This works great with lightning experience (which is awesome), but is there a plan to index lex specific features like lightning record pages or the object manager? I noticed that neither of those, as well as other lex specific areas of the setup menu, are available.
• (2019-08-15, v:2.4.9) Thomas Nieuwenhuizen: goes to About:Blank at times
  Sometimes when i click on a link in the search results i get directed to an About:blank page, i think i've setup the CSP correctly but could you perhaps clarify it a bit more what the format should be on the Overview page (example?). Using it in classic atm. It only seems to happen when i'm on a setup page other than the home setup page
• (2019-08-14, v:2.4.9) Brad Edgerly: Well done!
  Love the tool.
