Hello, I'm continuing to dig into the service console and have a question about the highlights panel. I wanted to edit the fields that are displayed in the panel.  In order for me to modify the fields, I noticed that I have to also update the compact layout.

When I took these steps the highlights panel was updated with the fields that I wanted to display.  

Am I correct in the steps that I took to update the highlights panel? or did I take the long route?  It seems a bit strange to update the compact layout just to get the highlight panel to change. I thought the compact layout was just for mobile.

Any light you can shine on this would be great! 

Here's the resource I found helpful.
