Cloud Kicks needs to ensure support agents handling high-priority VIP customer cases have access to a specialized workspace layout with unique utility bar items. How should the consultant configure this requirement?

Trap 1: Use page layouts assigned to the VIP Case Record Type.

Page layouts control field and component layout on the record page, not the console app navigation or utility bar items.

Trap 2: Modify the default global utility bar in the Salesforce Setup menu.

The global utility bar affects all apps and cannot be uniquely restricted to a specific VIP support team console.

Trap 3: Deploy an Aura component override to the standard navigation bar.

Overriding navigation bars with custom code is unnecessary when standard Lightning Console App configurations suffice.
