Take More Actions from the Global Actions Menu
Create records, log calls, take notes, and launch canvas, Visualforce, and Lightning component actions from anywhere in Lightning Experience. The Global Actions menu (Global Actions Menu ) now displays nearly all global actions from the Salesforce1 and Lightning Experience Actions section of the global publisher layout. This change applies to Lightning Experience only.
You might have noticed that we said “nearly all.” The Global Actions menu doesn’t support the standard Chatter actions Post, File, Poll, Link, Question, and Thanks.
