Where Can I Find Release Notes and Bugs from Salesforce?

When Salesforce does a release, in addition to email notifications, you have a website you can access 24/7 to monitor release issues. This is where you can find Release Notes and Bugs. Salesforce Known Issues Site Once the Salesforce’s New Release is live, you’ll be able to see information about updates and available workarounds for technology bugs. Bookmark this page to check out in the future! Locating Release Notes and Bugs Here is an example: Release Notes and Bugs Salesforce periodically provides release updates that improve the performance, logic, security, and usability of our products. The Release Updates page provides a list of updates that can be necessary for your organization to enable. Some release updates affect existing customizations. Every time a release update is created, it gets scheduled to be enforced in a future release. We announce each update and its schedule here as soon as that schedule is known, but occasionally, updates are postponed or canceled. If that happens, we let you know in the section that describes that specific release update. Often, release updates provide a Test Run option so you can enable an update and examine any changes to your org, including changes to customizations, before that update’s Complete Steps By date. To view release updates, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Release Updates, and select Release Updates. Enforced with This Release These updates are scheduled to be enforced this release. Disable Rules for Enforcing Explicit Access to Apex Classes (Release Update)This update disables the requirement for a user running a flow to have explicit access to Apex classes invoked by that flow. This update was first made available in Summer ’20 and was scheduled to be enforced in Spring ’23, but we postponed the enforcement date to Summer ’23. Enable Content Sniffing Protection (Release Update) Help shield your org and network from malicious attacks with content sniffing protection. This change helps prevent the browser from loading scripts disguised as other file types when your users access external content and websites from Salesforce. This update was first made available in Winter ’23 and was scheduled to be enforced in Spring ’23, but we postponed the enforcement date to Summer ’23. Enable Sharing for Flow Orchestration Objects (Release Update) In Summer ’23, Salesforce enables sharing for Flow Orchestration objects. With this change the Manage Flow user permission no longer grants user access to Flow Orchestration objects. To cancel or debug an orchestration or to reassign an orchestration work item, a user needs the Manage Orchestration Runs and Work Items user permission, along with sharing access to Flow Orchestration objects. Users who run orchestrations and execute work items must still have the Run Flows user permission.

Salesforce Winter ’24 Release Highlights

Excitement is building in the Salesforce community. Dreamforce and the Winter ’24 release align within the same hot 30-day period, bringing a wave of new updates and announcements for the Salesforce ecosystem. Salesforce Winter ’24 Release Highlights are amazing. As the release date approaches, focus should be on two key aspects. Preparing your sandbox and knowing the upgrade timeline for your instance. Salesforce Winter ’24 Release Date: Understanding when your production instance will undergo the Winter ’24 release is necessary. To determine this, check your instance on Salesforce Trust by clicking on your instance name and selecting “Maintenance.” This will reveal the specific date of the Winter ’24 release for your organization. It’s essential to conduct thorough testing of your main use cases before this date to ensure a smooth transition. Release weekends for Winter ’24 are scheduled on: If you’re unsure about your instance, navigate to “company information” within “Setup” on your Salesforce platform. Winter ’24 Sandbox Preview Information: Equally critical is understanding how and when your sandbox will be upgraded, providing the first opportunity to test the new release within your custom Salesforce system. Salesforce has two release windows for sandboxes based on whether they are “Preview” or “Non-Preview” instances. Most sandboxes are expected to undergo upgrades on Aug 26th, 2023. Stay tuned for additional information on Sandbox previews. Winter ’24 Pre-Release Org: Pre-release orgs offer an excellent way to familiarize yourself with the new features ahead of sandbox upgrades. Existing preview orgs have been upgraded with the Winter ’24 release. For those without a pre-release org, sign up for a Winter ’24 Org to explore the latest features. Winter ’24 Release Highlights: While the dates are significant in the Salesforce release cycle, the most anticipated date is the official release of “Salesforce Release Notes.” Expected in early August 2023, consider these notes as providing the first insights into the features and enhancements. They are the first look into what will be applied across the entire Salesforce suite. And its always great to be the first to know. As the Salesforce community eagerly awaits these milestones, stay tuned for updates and announcements to make the most of the upcoming Winter ’24 release.

Did Your Salesforce Product Name Change?

In the ever-changing ecosystem of Salesforce and enterprise technology in general, product capabilities continually evolve and adapt. This holds true for Salesforce’s product portfolio, where not only functionalities but also product names undergo transformations. Salesforce Product Name Change happens all the time. The ‘formerly known as’ guide presented here explains the reasons behind these name changes and provides insights into the evolution of specific Salesforce products. The rationale for altering product names often stems from the need to enhance clarity, align with product developments, or signify the introduction of something new or retired. While this creates significant challenges for the sales and marketing teams at Salesforce and its partners and customers, it also impacts things like your search for information on a product or resources for implementation. Salesforce Product Name Change Feel free to bookmark, save, or print this list. Data Cloud: Data Cloud, Salesforce’s Customer Data Platform (CDP), takes the evolutionary spotlight with its frequent name changes, reflecting the rapid evolution of this technology. From Customer 360 Audiences to Salesforce Genie and eventually settling as Data Cloud in 2023, each name adjustment signifies big advancements and adaptability, particularly with generative AI innovations. CRM Analytics: The journey of CRM Analytics, previously known as Edgespring, Wave, and Einstein Analytics, illustrates the consolidation of Salesforce’s analytics offerings. The final nomenclature, CRM Analytics, emerged in April 2022, reflecting a desire for consistency and immediate recognition. Salesforce Industries: The evolution from Vlocity to Salesforce Industries in 2020 demonstrates Salesforce’s recognition of the distinctive nature of industry-specific requirements in the platform. This transition resulted from the acquisition of Vlocity and the integration of its industry-specific CRMs into Salesforce’s family of product offerings. Account Engagement (formerly Pardot): The renaming of Pardot to Account Engagement emphasizes Salesforce’s commitment to consistency and immediate understanding within the expansive Marketing Cloud product suite. The new name aligns with the product’s focus on B2B marketing automation. One can hardly remember when the product was known as Exacttarget. Marketing Cloud Offerings: Several Marketing Cloud products underwent renaming in April 2022. Personalization (formerly Interaction Studio) and Marketing Cloud Intelligence (formerly Datorama) highlight Salesforce’s effort to streamline and provide clarity within its diverse marketing solutions. Quip: Quip, initially acquired in 2017, underwent various phases, from Salesforce Anywhere to Canvas within Slack. Despite a potential interim name as “Live Documents,” the product eventually reverted to the concise and distinct name Quip. One small example of the more things change, the more they become the same. Einstein GPT: The launch of Einstein GPT highlights Salesforce’s innovation in generative Artificial Intelligence tools, emphasizing its broader scope, including the Data Cloud as its foundation. Subsequent changes, such as the introduction of the Einstein 1 Platform and Copilot, indicate the platform’s ongoing evolution. Prompt Builder: The evolution from Prompt Studio to Prompt Builder within Copilot Studio shows Salesforce’s commitment to consistency in naming conventions across different parts of its platform. Salesforce Starter Edition: Originally introduced as Salesforce Easy and later renamed Salesforce Starter, this CRM edition targets small businesses, emphasizing guided onboarding and built-in AI capabilities. The product remains a great entry-level platform for smaller businesses looking to move to the Salesforce ecosystem. Work.com: While not a name change per se, the revival of Work.com for a different purpose reflects Salesforce’s adaptability. The legacy Work.com, focused on social performance management, contrasts with the contemporary Work.com, offering applications, resources, and content for creating resilient workplaces. What’s in a Name? Salesforce’s approach to name changes aims to signify innovation, clarity, and relevance to evolving functionalities. The transparent communication from Salesforce leadership underscores their commitment to keeping users informed about the reasons behind such changes. As the Salesforce ecosystem continues to evolve, names may change, but the intention remains rooted in highlighting what’s new and driving progress.
