Adding, editing or deleting a Related Salesforce Records module

If your site has the Soapbox CMS (Does my site have the Soapbox CMS?), with Directories you have the ability to associate Salesforce records with articles in the content management system and display those articles on the Directories Record Detail view. Those records are displayed using the Related Salesforce Records module after you have done the initial setup required for associating Salesforce records with articles.
