    In my point of view, I don't see any adavntages in Schema builder except seeing the objects and their relationships.

    Even when we add a field, FLS should be given again to that field.

    Unless to analze org structure, I don't usually go to Schema Builder.

    Schema Builder provides a dynamic environment to add new custom objects, custom fields, and relationships to your schema. This eliminates the need to click from page to page to find the details of a master-detail relationship or to add a new custom field to an object in your schema. For example, if you’re using Schema Builder to view the details of your schema, you can add a new custom object without leaving Schema Builder. The drag-and-drop interface lets you easily add a custom object or new field, and saves the layout of your schema any time you move an object.

    Schema Builder provides details such as the field values, required fields, and how objects are related by displaying lookup and master-detail relationships. You can view the details for both standard and custom objects in Schema Builder.

    Salesforce Schema Builder forms the default is enabled and it gives you the liberty to add some of the items to the scheme. These items are as follows.

    Custom objects
    Master-detail relationships
    Lookup relationships
    Fields of the following types
    Formula
    Auto Number
    Checkbox
    Roll-up Summary
    Date
    Currency

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    The Lightning Schema Builder is a dynamic environment, where you can represent yourSalesforce data objects, custom fields, and its relationships in a graphical way.

    Hope this helps.
