Get Up to Speed with Lightning Communities

Lightning community templates let you create branded spaces where your employees, customers, and partners can connect. Built on the Lightning Component framework, Lightning templates include many ready-to-use features and Lightning components. But the real power of the Lightning Component framework is that you can develop custom Lightning components and features to meet your unique business needs and completely transform the look and feel of your community.

Whether you’re a developer, partner, or ISV, this guide helps you create custom Lightning communities, components, theme layouts, and Bolt solutions. You’ll also learn how to package solutions and components and distribute them on AppExchange.
