The Composer Lightning Component allows you to relate a Solution Collection to an object's page layout. All Conga Solutions in the selected Solution Collection become available to launch when the Composer Lightning Component is placed on an object's page layout.

The functionality of the Solution Collection and the Composer Lightning Component allow you to choose and launch different yet related Composer Solutions on the same Lightning page layout.

From March 1, 2022, you must have Conga Composer version 8.200-Wilson Peak or later installed in your Salesforce org in order to use the Composer Lightning Component to merge and generate the document.
