  why let administrator modify the page layout to enable new field or button?
  I simply look at the release notes. But the release notes has 300+ pages, so complex!
  Every version provides some new features or modifies some features, for example add a new field for account object.
  My questions are:
  1. why let administrator modify the page layout to enable a new field or button, why not been enabled by default?
  2. what changes are enabled by default, what changes depend the administrator's configuration?
  thanks!

  How can you email someone a Visualforce page
  The "Implementing Global Actions with Visualforce Pages" challenge asks you to create a page with your user info on it, then add a field to enter an email address so that you can click a "Send" button to send the page to that email address.
  Assuming I need to write APEX to send the actual email, what do you think I should send in the email? Is there actually a way to embed the page in the email, or do you think they're just asking for the same content (my user info)? Has anyone actually completed this challenge? It seems really vague to me.
  I have entered 5-6 email Id randomly in to address. How to send mail to above email id.

  Is it possible to validate an object to has just one record in a day?
  I want to know if it is possible that an object can only have a record created by day depending on some criteria
  Example:
  Object: "OD__c" Custome Field: Date__c, Suc__c.
  this Object has already a record created today called
  Name: OD-001 02/Feb/2016 Suc: Central
  so if I try to create another one with the same values I would like to get an error
  Name: OD-002 02/Feb/2016 Suc: Central
  can this object be validated if it meet the criteria
  If (Date__c==Today() && Suc__c == "Central")

  issue in trailhead
  I am trying the exercise "Implementing Global Actions with Visualforce Pages" in the trailhead module module.
  The exercise mentioned "Your users have asked for a quick way to share information about themselves with their clients from their mobile phone. Create a global action in Salesforce1 to display information similar to a user's business card (first and last name, email, phone, and title).
  The global action must be labeled 'My Business Card'.
  The global action must reference a Visualforce page named 'BusinessCard'.
  .................................."
  I have created the global action and named with the label correctly as "My Business Card". However, I am now getting an error as below
  "Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
  The 'My Business Card' global action wasn't found."
  We cannot create an action with the name having spaces as in "My Business Card".
  What am I doing incorrectly. Please suggest.
  Thanks

  Error "Couldn't find two users in your org with a 'Salesforce' license." while validating challenge
  Project: Build an Account Reassignment Wizard
  Unit: Implement the Flow with Visualforce

  Apex not running in System mode even if [with sharing] is not used.
  I have a VF page and some apex code in related controller. The VF is ran by a user having limited access based on his profile. However the code tries to update a contact which results in a privilege error and says [Update access denied for Contact] which seems an issue for currently runnign user. This is fine as user profile doesnt allow him to edit/update Contacts. However if I have not used [with sharing], then ideally it should run in System mode which is somehow not happening. Can someone pls help by pointing out issue or some direction pls ?

  first error: STORAGE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED, storage limit exceeded: [] in Trailhead
  There was an unexpected error in your org which is preventing this assessment check from completing: System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: STORAGE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED, storage limit exceeded: []"
  Getting this error message when trying to check challenge. This is Automate Basic Business Processes with Process Builder module in Trailhead. I followed the steps suggested by people to check storage from system overview area. I checked that and found I have lots of storage available. Only 350 KB out of total possible of 5MB, which is only 6% of total availa storage. so 94% is free.
  When I click on 350 KB and check storage usage, everything looks okay except File storage which is 112% used. Content bodies have used 99% of available storage.
  Can somebody please advise what should I do. and if I have to reduce file storage how can i do that.
  Thanks in advance.

  Checking existing email accounts
  I'm trying to find a way to trigger an automatic action (changing stage) with process builder when a new Opportunity (customer) is created and this Opportunity contains an existing email address in my Salesforce. This way I can control when a customer is visiting again our website asking for a quotation (when a customer asks for a quotation on the website, the info is sent from our CMS to Salesforce to create a new Opportunity with a customer email address associated to it). How can I do this process or workflow rule? I don't know how to tell the system to check for an existing email address. Is there a standard place in my Salesforce where this info is stored and you can check it with a workflow rule? Thank you for in advance for your help!

  No Login - Registered Developer Org User
  I am a registered user and have my developer org for development purpose. When I trailhead without login to salesforce, I see two link on the pages namely "... Badges" and "... Points" where "..." is a number. When I click on these links without login to salesforce, I am redirected to "Discussion forum"page. Is this correct behavior?
  Shouldn't these information be hidden when I am not logged into salesforce? Alternatively, if these informations are coming from cookies and I am still not logged in then clicking these links should take me to login page instead of discussion forum?
  I am looking forward to hear from you.
  Thanks
  Manoj.
