Spring 25 Update

Get Ready for Salesforce Spring ’25: Key Dates and Insights

It’s that time of the Salesforce calendar again—the Salesforce ecosystem is buzzing with anticipation as the Spring ’25 release approaches. Packed with innovative features and updates, this release is set to enhance the customer experience and deliver significant value to all Salesforce users.

To make the most of this release, there are two key priorities to focus on: preparing your sandbox and understanding when your instance will be upgraded.

When Will Your Salesforce Instance Upgrade to Spring ’25?

Knowing when your main Salesforce environment will transition to Spring ’25 is critical. Running tests on key system functions before the upgrade ensures everything continues to operate smoothly. While Salesforce releases are generally seamless, proactive testing is always a good practice.

The main release weekends for Spring ’25 are:

January 11, 2025
February 8, 2025
February 14, 2025

To pinpoint when your specific instance will upgrade:

Visit Salesforce Trust.
Search for your instance name or domain under the “Maintenance” tab.
Check the exact date scheduled for your production upgrade.

If you’re unsure of your instance name, you can find it by navigating to Setup > Company Information in your Salesforce org.

Spring ’25 Sandbox Preview: Your Testing Opportunity

Upgrading your sandbox environment is a vital part of preparing for the Spring ’25 release. This step allows you to test the new features and updates with your unique configurations and data.

Salesforce provides two upgrade windows for sandboxes, depending on whether your instance is “Preview” or “Non-Preview.” Most sandboxes are expected to upgrade around January 4, 2025.

Using a pre-release org is another option to explore the new features before the sandbox upgrade, but keep in mind that pre-release orgs don’t include your specific configurations.

Spring ’25 Pre-Release Orgs

Pre-release orgs provide a sneak peek at the Spring ’25 updates. These are an excellent way to get hands-on experience with the new features before they roll out to your environment. Stay tuned for the pre-release org link as it becomes available.

Spring ’25 Release Notes: A First Look at New Features

Perhaps the most eagerly awaited milestone in the Salesforce release cycle is the publication of the official release notes. These notes provide an in-depth overview of the features and upgrades being rolled out across Salesforce products.

We’ll link the release notes here as soon as they’re available—so you can dive into what’s coming and prepare to implement the changes that matter most to your organization.

With the Spring ’25 release just around the corner, now’s the time to start planning and testing. By staying ahead of the key dates and leveraging your sandbox preview, you’ll ensure a smooth transition to the latest Salesforce innovations.
