Salesforce Files

In plain words: A Record File Viewer in LWC is a custom Lightning component that queries and displays all files, documents, and attachments linked to a specific Salesforce record. Instead of navigating through standard related lists, users get a consolidated grid where they can view file details, preview content, and open direct download links. Salesforce records frequently accumulate documents such as contracts, spec sheets, invoices, and images. While the standard "Files" related list provides basic table access, business users often need a responsive card view with direct preview and download actions. Building this in Lightning Web Components (LWC) with modern Salesforce Files architecture delivers a clean, responsive document gallery directly on the record page.
