The statement "The compact layout allows you to control the highlight panel on Salesforce classic like Salesforce lightning" is false.

In Salesforce, the highlight panel is a feature that displays important details about a record, such as related records, activity history, and Chatter feeds. It is available in both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience.

Compact layouts, on the other hand, are used to customize the fields and sections that appear in the highlights panel of a record. They are available only in Lightning Experience and not in Salesforce Classic.

Therefore, compact layouts do not allow you to control the highlight panel on Salesforce Classic like Salesforce Lightning. However, in Salesforce Classic, you can still customize the fields and sections that appear on a record detail page using page layouts. Page layouts are different from compact layouts but serve a similar purpose in Salesforce Classic.

In conclusion, the statement is false, and compact layouts are only available in Lightning Experience, whereas page layouts are available in both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience.
