Within the Salesforce CRM application, you can natively add rich-text-related sections to the Home page that can be configured to present messages and hyperlinks, and launch email applications.

Using Lightning App Builder, the Home page can be configured with the use of the standard Rich Text Lightning component, which supports formatted text, URLs, and email links as covered in other recipes within this chapter.

Organizations often have a requirement to brand the software applications that are in use by their employees or display graphic notifications, such as terms and conditions of system use, and this can be achieved in Salesforce CRM by displaying a custom image on the landing Home page.

Salesforce does not, however, provide a way of adding custom images to the Home page natively using a standard component within Lightning App Builder; therefore, we are going to develop a custom Lightning component to fulfill this requirement.
