Are there any limitations when using the AddressTools Record Page Component?
None – this component is designed to build on top of your existing lightning record pages and provide your users with a quick widget to handle everything address related on the record.
Do I need to use the AddressTools Record Page Component?
AddressTools’ interactive functionality cannot be implemented on the standard detail component that Salesforce provide in Lightning so we recommend using this component whenever you require editing an address for an existing record. It is also essential that for any interactive functionality such as type-ahead PowerSearch address verification, this component must be used.
As there are no negatives to using the component, there’s no harm in popping it in your Lightning Record Pages for your users to enjoy and once they are familiar with how to interact with it, it can save them loads of time!
