The Spring’26 release is already available via the Pre-release and Pre-release for partners programs. Starting January 09, 2026, Sandboxes will be upgraded to give early access to the Spring’26 experience.

Salesforce Spring ’26 just dropped, and it doubles down on what matters most in our current project: Agentforce. This release introduces the Agentforce DX MCP Server, the Agentforce Vibe IDE, and powerful new extensions that make building, customizing, and scaling intelligent agents easier and more predictable. Beyond Agentforce, Spring ’26 delivers solid improvements across Lightning Experience, Flow, Apex, and Lightning Web Components, along with strengthened integration and data capabilities through MuleSoft, and Data Cloud. The release also includes practical upgrades in Field Service, Commerce Cloud, Tableau, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and Revenue Cloud, all aimed at driving real-world value rather than just buzz. Spring ’26 feels like a forward leap for agents and automation while still reinforcing core CRM and developer productivity.

For example, some exciting features like MuleSoft API Governance for Salesforce (Beta), Streamline Administrative Tasks with Setup with Agentforce (Beta), Enhance Proactive Customer Service with Agentforce, Agentforce Sales App in ChatGPT (Beta), Access Agentforce from Your Outlook Integration, and AI Agents for Sales are coming to Salesforce.

Additionally, take a look at these beta and pilot features:

Manage Deals Directly from the Agentforce Sales App in ChatGPT (Beta): – Sellers can research leads and accounts, plan sales strategies, and update Salesforce records—all powered by secure, accurate, and real-time CRM data, while using the Agentforce Sales App in ChatGPT. This seamless connection helps sales teams close deals faster and maintain data accuracy, directly within their flow of work.
1. This feature is available in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions with the Agentforce for Sales add-on, and in Agentforce 1 Sales Edition.
2. <<How>>
  1. From the gear icon, select Salesforce Go, and search for Agentforce Sales ChatGPT App (Beta). Go to the Agentforce Sales ChatGPT app (Beta) page and turn on the feature. Next, go to ChatGPT to publish the app. After these steps are complete, your users must connect the Agentforce Sales ChatGPT App to their Salesforce accounts.
Build Enterprise-Ready Agents with Agentforce DX and Agent Script (Beta): – Use pro-code tools, such as VS Code and Salesforce CLI, to build hybrid reasoning Salesforce agents. These new types of agents have both the predictability that your business demands and the creativity that large language models (LLMs) make possible.
1. These new features are available in Salesforce CLI version 2.115.15 and Agentforce VS Code Extension version 1.6.0.
Personalized Trust Is Now Salesforce My Trust Center (Beta): – Salesforce My Trust Center (beta) provides authenticated access to service health information tailored to your specific Salesforce products and services. Based on customer feedback, the renamed Salesforce My Trust Center (beta) has been improved. Subscribe to notifications, access 1 year of extended incident and maintenance history with enhanced navigation, and view details on org location and MyDomain information. Also, the public Status site now supports Heroku and Spiff.
1. These changes apply to my.trust.salesforce.com and Status.salesforce.com.

Get Instant Product Assistance and Troubleshooting with Omnistudio Assistance AI Agent (Pilot): – Use the Omnistudio Assistance AI pilot agent to get context-aware guidance directly in the designer. Whether you’re a designer, developer, or implementation specialist, the agent provides instant, relevant information about any Omnistudio component or element that you’re working with. It can also provide a complete build plan that helps architect end-to-end solutions, based on an industry vertical. The agent can also run design-time diagnostics to identify gaps and avoid runtime failures.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience, Experience Cloud sites, and all versions of Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions where Omnistudio is enabled. Additionally, you need a Data 360 license with the Agentforce 1 add-ons.
2. <<How>>

1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions with Media Cloud- Advanced.

Supported Browsers for Lightning Experience

Lightning Experience is supported by Apple® Safari®’s latest version on macOS. The most recent stable versions of Microsoft® Edge Chromium, Mozilla® Firefox®, and Google Chrome™ are also supported.

Use Apple Safari on iPadOS (iOS 13.x or later). Lightning Experience on iPad Safari doesn’t support portrait orientation and orientation switching. Use landscape orientation, and maximize your Safari browser to full width. To prevent your tablet from switching orientation, turn on the iPad rotation lock.

Salesforce treats touch-enabled laptops, including Microsoft Surface and Surface Pro devices, as laptops instead of tablets. You can’t access the Salesforce mobile app on these devices. Users are redirected to the full site experience that’s enabled for them—Lightning Experience or Salesforce Classic. Only standard keyboard and mouse inputs are supported on these types of devices.

Customers / Administrator’s Point of View

Drive Predictive Operations with Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization Insights (Beta): – Bring best-in-class data visualization directly into your field service workflow with Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization Insights. Monitor performance trends through intuitive dashboards that quantify the impact of your optimization, by turning complex data into clear, actionable benefits.

Improve SLA Reporting by Using Rule-based Milestone Pause: – Free up your service reps from the manual overhead of stopping a record when the next step is outside their purview. Admins can set rules to automatically pause milestones when the defined conditions are met. For example, a milestone can be paused automatically if the case status is “Waiting for Customer.” The milestone timer stops during the pause duration and resumes when the pause conditions change. The target date is reevaluated when the milestone unpauses. This helps with more accurate SLA reporting and clearly highlights delays.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions with the Service Cloud.
2. <<How>>
  1. From the SLA Policies page, select the SLA policy for which you want to create a milestone. On the Milestones tab, click New Milestone. In the New Milestone window, go to the Pause tab and define your milestone pause criteria. Save your milestone and activate the SLA Policy.

Use Updated Empty Value Placement in List View Sorting: – When you sort a list view, blank fields, or null values, now are treated as the highest value in the dataset. For example, let’s say you have a column with the data 5, 9, null, and 2. If you sort this column in ascending order, you see 2, 5, 9, null. Previously, Salesforce treated blank fields as the lowest value, so that in the example given, you saw the data as null, 2, 5, 9.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in all editions.
List View Edit Limits Are Communicated More Clearly: – List views rendered with Lightning Web Components (LWC) now prevent you from selecting or attempting to edit more than the supported maximum of 200 records at one time. Previously, if you selected more than 200 records, the edit icon still appeared and Salesforce didn’t restrict you from changing a field. However, when you attempted to apply your changes, an error notified you that your changes were unsaveable. To save you time and prevent the input of changes that can’t be saved, list views now enforce the 200-record limit earlier in the edit process.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in all editions.
Share Reports and Dashboards Folders Using Usernames: – Securely share report and dashboard folders using precise usernames. Search for users by their usernames, and reduce the risk of sharing sensitive information with the wrong users. Previously, only the name was shown.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Professional, and Unlimited editions.
Ensure Compliance with Custom Disclaimers on Exported Reports: – Ensure that your exported reports meet corporate policies and regulatory requirements by appending a custom disclaimer after the standard Salesforce disclaimer.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Professional, and Unlimited editions.

1. This change applies to CRM Analytics in Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic. CRM Analytics is available for an extra cost in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions. Salesforce Private Connect is required.
Automate Your Outreach with a Lighter, Faster Email Builder App: – Now it’s easier than ever to connect with your customers. The new Email Builder Lite lets you quickly create and send batch emails to your Sales contacts and leads. Choose from a library of ready-made layouts, or build your own with our new component-based authoring experience. All emails you create are automatically saved to your CMS Content Workspace for easy access and reuse. It’s all accessible right from your Sales list views, so you can automate your outreach via an intuitive interface, without having to open another tab.
1. This change applies to supported editions for Salesforce Foundations.
2. <<How>>
  1. To be accessible, Email Builder Lite requires admin enablement. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter and select Salesforce Foundations. Under Foundations Apps and Features, enable Email Builder Lite for Sales.
Allow More Users to Delete Files: – Manage files in Salesforce more efficiently by assigning the new Delete Salesforce Files permission to your users. With this permission, a user can delete any file that they have access to view. Previously, only a Salesforce admin or the file owner could delete a file.

1. This change applies to Salesforce Files accessed through Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Group, Enterprise, Professional, Performance, Unlimited, Contact Manager, and Developer editions.
2. <<How>>
  1. Enable Delete Salesforce Files for a profile or permission set.
Manage Files up to 10 GB in Salesforce Files: – Salesforce Files has increased the file size limit from 2 GB to 10 GB. The increased limit is available to Files home, libraries, and on a record’s Files related list, but not to files uploaded to Chatter or LWR sites in Experience Cloud.
1. This change applies to Salesforce Files accessed through Lightning Experience in Essentials, Group, Enterprise, Professional, Performance, Unlimited, Contact Manager, and Developer editions.
Inbound Limit for Service Agent Emails is Extended: – Inbound emails handled by the Service agent count against your Agentforce for Service on Email daily transaction limit, which is 5,000 by default. You can ask Salesforce Customer Support to raise this limit. Previously, this checked against the org’s single email limit, which is shared with Apex and flow emails.

Accelerate Custom Lightning Type Creation for Agentforce with the Lightning Types MCP Tool (Developer Preview): – The Lightning Types Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool in the Salesforce DX MCP Server provides a dynamic way to create and enhance your custom Lightning types. Salesforce DX MCP Server uses large language models (LLMs) to generate the necessary LightningTypeBundle metadata files, including schema.json, editor.json, and renderer.json. You use these custom Lightning types to generate the custom Lightning Web Component (LWC) responses that you’re looking for. This feature supports Agentforce Employee agents in Lightning Experience and Agentforce Service agents via Enhanced Chat v2. You can also define structured outputs in Prompt Builder with these Lightning types.
1. The Lightning Types MCP tool is available in the latest version of the Salesforce DX MCP Server (beta).
2. <<How>>
  1. Access the Lightning Types MCP tool, which works with your integrated development environment (IDE), through Agentforce or other MCP clients of your choice. The Salesforce DX MCP Server is preconfigured in Agentforce Vibes Extension. To interact with the tool, turn on the server in Agentforce, which is a part of Agentforce Vibes Extension. After the server is running, interact with it by using natural language prompts to create, enhance, and get guidance on your custom Lightning types.
Display Consistent Empty State Illustrations With Theme Support (Beta): – Use the new lightning-empty-state component to add meaningful visuals and content to your components that show empty states. This component displays the latest Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) empty state illustration and correctly sizes it for the container, simplifying your UI development. The SVG illustrations automatically adjust to the user’s selected theme, and can adapt to dark mode in SLDS 2 themes, for a consistent look and feel across your app. The new lightning-illustration component displays the same set of illustrations without text.
1. This feature applies to Lightning Experience. The component must run in a Salesforce org to display the illustrations.
2. <<How>>
  1. Include the <lightning-empty-state> tag in your Lightning web component and pass the illustration name and title by using attributes. Pass the description and cta (call-to-action) by using slots. See the illustration names and usage information in the Lightning Component Reference (can be outdated or unavailable during release preview). See the SLDS 2 (can be outdated or unavailable during release preview) site for images of the illustrations and extensive information about the Empty State design.
  2. This example shows an empty cart illustration along with a Browse Products call-to-action button with the brand variant.
    
    Copy Code Copied Use a different Browser
    
      <lightning-empty-state illustration-name="cart:noitems" title="It's looking a little empty in here"> <p slot="description">Head to the product catalog to add something to your cart.</p> <lightning-button variant="brand" label="Browse Products" slot="cta" onclick={handleCtaClick}> </lightning-button> </lightning-empty-state>
  3. The button handler in the component’s JavaScript file carries out the action.
    
    Copy Code Copied Use a different Browser
    
    import { LightningElement } from "lwc"; export default class MyEmptyState extends LightningElement { handleCtaClick(event) { // go to the Products tab } }
  4. The same myEmptyState example component can run in both SLDS 1 and SLDS 2 themes. The lightning-empty-state component automatically detects the SLDS version of the theme and presents the correct version of the illustration.
    In SLDS 2 themes, this component code produces this empty state depiction with an empty cart illustration.
Update Your Custom Components for Use in Setup with Agentforce (Beta): – Make your custom Aura and Lightning web components accessible to Agentforce in Setup by adding AI-related component and property descriptions to their js-meta.xml and .design files.

Fatal errors still show in modal error panels that you must dismiss before continuing. Fatal errors are also collected in the Error Console for later inspection.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience.
2. The Error Console keeps non-fatal errors from interrupting your work, while making it easier to share error details with your Salesforce admin or developer.
3. <<How>>
  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter User Interface, and then select User Interface. Enable the Use Error Console for error reporting in Lightning Experience option in the Advanced Settings section.
Deploy Apex Components Faster by Running Only Relevant Tests (Beta): – To reduce Apex component deployment time, use the new RunRelevantTests test level to run only the tests relevant to your code changes. This feature automatically determines which tests to run based on an analysis of the deployment payload and the payload dependencies. For fine-grained control, you can annotate test classes so that they either run regardless of the deployment payload, or run when specified components are new or modified. This targeted approach boosts the speed and reliability of your deployment while maintaining code quality and coverage requirements.
1. The RunRelevantTests test level is available in all API versions. The @IsTest(critical=true) and @IsTest(testFor=’…’) annotations are available in API version 66.0 and later. The feature is available in Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
2. <<How>>
  1. To specify the RunRelevantTests test level when you deploy Apex components, use one of these methods.
    1. To deploy by using a file-based call, set the testLevel field on the DeployOptions object to RunRelevantTests. Then pass DeployOptions as an argument to the deploy() method.
    2. To deploy by using the deployRequest REST resource, define a deployOptions object in the POST request body and set its testLevel field to RunRelevantTests.
    3. To deploy by using the Salesforce CLI, use the sf project deploy start command and set the --test-level flag to RunRelevantTests.
    4. If a test class must always run regardless of the classes or triggers in the deployment payload, annotate the test class with @IsTest(critical=true).
    5. If a test class must always run whenever specified classes or triggers are new or changed in the deployment payload, annotate the test class with @IsTest(testFor='ApexClass:ClassName, ApexTrigger:TriggerName').
Use Apex Cursors for Expanded SOQL Query Result Support (Generally Available): – Use Apex cursors and pagination cursors to work with large SOQL query result sets in manageable parts. This feature, now generally available, includes enhancements since the beta release. Standard cursors, when combined with queueable Apex, address the limitations of batch Apex. Pagination cursors are designed for UI elements, such as multipage record lists. Both Apex cursor types can traverse forwards and backwards through result sets and can handle high-volume, high-resource processing. This feature is available in API version 66.0 and later.
1. The feature is available in Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
2. <<How>>
  1. This feature, now generally available, includes these enhancements.

      2. Limits.getApexPaginationCursors() and its upper bound Limits.getLimitApexPaginationCursors() method
      3. Limits.getApexPaginationCursorRows() and its upper bound Limits.getLimitApexPaginationCursorRows() method
    5. Cursor and pagination cursor support in AuraEnabled serialization and deserialization. You can serialize a cursor in an @AuraEnabled response and deserialize a cursor as an input parameter in an @AuraEnabled method.
Extract Picklist Values Based on Record Type: – Get the values for all picklist fields for a particular record type by using the new ConnectApi.RecordUi.getPicklistValuesByRecordType(objectApiName, recordTypeId) method. We delivered this feature due to your idea on IdeaExchange.
1. The feature is available in Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
2. Previously, in Apex, you couldn’t directly get picklist values that were specific to a record type without making callouts.
3. <<How>>
  1. This method is especially useful for getting dependent picklist values. For example, if an object has a tree of dependent picklists, such as Continents__c, Countries__c, Cities__c, use this method to get all the values for each picklist in one request via the ConnectApi.PicklistValuesCollection.
Expose Apex REST and AuraEnabled Controller Methods as Agent Actions (Generally Available): – Create agent actions based on Apex classes by annotating methods in those classes, generating an OpenAPI spec document, and deploying that document to your org. Manage the exposed methods as APIs in API Catalog. This feature is now generally available.

    2. You can customize the styling for these components: Checkbox, Checkbox Group, Currency, Date, Date/Time, Display Text, Number, Long Text Area, Multi-Select Picklist, Password, Picklist, Radio Button, Repeater, Section, and Text.
3. Add Visually Distinct and Accessible Messages to Screen Flows: – With the new Message screen component, you can add an eye-catching a11y-compliant message to a screen to show information, a success, an error, or a warning.
  1. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
  2. <<How>>
    1. Add the Message display component to a flow screen. The message type determines the color and icon used for the message. Screen readers are able to read the message type to their users. For the message, you can enter text or select a flow resource to use as the message.
4. Visualize and Track Record Progress with Kanban Boards in Screen Flows (Beta): – Use the new Kanban Board component to show records as cards in columns that represent workflow stages, without custom Lightning implementations. Your users gain instant visibility into record progress and record details without leaving the flow. The Kanban Board is read-only, so users can’t drag cards between stages at run time.
  1. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Pro Suite, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
  2. <<How>>
    1. Add the Kanban Board component to a screen and select a record collection whose records you want to show on the board. Then select a picklist field from Source Collection for column headers. You can select only picklist fields for column headers. The field order in the object metadata dictates the display order of columns. Finally, add the fields to show on record cards.
    2. In this example, a Get Records element retrieves Opportunity records, and set its output as the source collection (1). We selected the StageName picklist for the board’s column headers (2).
    3. The card displays Opportunity Type, Close Date, Description, Has Overview Task, and Amount (3).
    4. Records are grouped by Opportunity Type (4) and selected the Summary Field (5) to show aggregates for the columns and groups.
    5. Here’s the run-time view of the Kanban Board.
5. Open Screen Flows in Lightning Experience with a URL (Generally Available): – Launch screen flows in Lightning Experience and Lightning console apps with a new standardized URL format.

  1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
  2. <<How>>
    1. To open a flow in Lightning Experience, append /lightning/flow/YourFlowNameHere to your URL. To run a specific flow version, append /lightning/flow/YourFlowNameHere/versionId to your URL. Flows that open in Lightning Experience have improved performance because most required Lightning components are already loaded into the browser session. In Lightning console apps, your tabs are preserved when a flow opens, and you can switch to other tabs while the flow is working. Using the new URL format also ensures that your browser behaves consistently, with forward, back, and your browser history working as expected.
    2. To pass data into a flow through its URL, append ?flow__variableIdHere=value to the end of your URL. For example, to pass a case number into a flow, /lightning/flow/YourFlowNameHere?flow__variableIdHereID={!Case.CaseNumber}.
    3. Use & to append multiple variables into a flow. For example, /lightning/flow/YourFlowNameHere?flow__varUserFirst={!$User.FirstName}&flow__varUserLast={!$User.LastName} passes both the user first name and last name into the flow.
6. Retain Debug Configurations Within Flow Editing Sessions: – Preserve debug configurations when you save changes to your flow. Debug inputs such as triggering record values, debug options, and input variable values now remain set when you save flow changes within your Flow Builder session. Refreshing your browser or closing Flow Builder clears all debug settings.
  1. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
7. Monitor Flow Performance with View Flow Version Run Analytics: – Get comprehensive insights into your flow version’s overall health with new version-level analytics. Previously, understanding flow performance required piecing together data from individual element analytics or relying on incomplete aggregate metrics, which made it challenging to assess flow health holistically or spot systematic issues affecting multiple users. Now, you have a unified view showing completion rates, run status distributions, and detailed execution data across all individuals, so you can better monitor performance, identify version-wide trends, and share comprehensive insights with stakeholders
  1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Marketing Cloud Growth and Marketing Cloud Advanced for automation event-triggered and segment-triggered flows with Data 360 element-level logging enabled.

Or, from Flow Builder, click the versions dropdown and then click Compare Versions. This option is available only if the screen flow has two or more versions.
    2. Select the screen flow versions to compare, and then click Compare Versions. You can change either flow version to compare. The comparison results show changes made to elements, resources, and flow properties for the selected screen flow versions. You can select to either view only changes or show all the elements in the flow regardless of the change status. To show all items, deselect Show Only Changed Items.
    3. For more information about changes to an element, resource, or field click View Details. Review detailed changes to screen components, fields, flow properties, and component styles.
9. Monitor Performance for Active and Previously Run Flows on the Canvas: – Visualize flow performance directly in Flow Builder. Previously, on-canvas insights were available only for flows triggered by Data 360. Now you can view aggregated element run data for active and previously run flows directly on the canvas to identify performance bottlenecks without relying on logs or external reporting tools. Embedded analytics aren’t available for screen flows or orchestrations.
  1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Essentials, Pro Suite, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
  2. <<How>>
    1. In Flow Builder, open an active or previously run flow in read-only mode. Aggregated run data appears directly on supported canvas elements.

  1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, all Einstein 1, and Developer editions.
  2. <<How>>
    1. Before you add the Request Approval component to a record page layout, consider what input you want from the submitter. If you plan to require that the submitter select a first approver, design a flow approval process to assign one or more approval steps to the firstApprover input variable. To expose optional submitter comments to approvers, use the submissionComments input variable in your flow approval process.
    2. After you add the Request Approval component to a page, configure it to reference the relevant active autolaunched flow approval process.
    3. The component shows an Approval Request Comments field by default. To prevent the submitter from adding comments about a submission, select Hide submitter comments.
    4. To require the submitter to select a first approver, select Require submitter to select first approver.
12. Set Up and Monitor Flow Logging in One Place: – Gain visibility into flow performance with the new Flow Logs tab in the Automation Lightning app. Data 360 stores flow run metrics and provides real-time flow performance insights.

Update Apex Code and Flows for Changed Sharing Recalculation Behavior (Release Update): – To optimize performance after large-scale updates to groups or roles, Salesforce now performs some sharing recalculations asynchronously. If Apex code and flows require that share records be updated immediately, the code and flows can break when this release update is enforced. Update Apex classes, tests, and flows that update group membership or roles if they rely on synchronous sharing recalculation. This update is available starting in Spring ’26.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
2. <<How>>
  1. Review the release update in Setup for information on identifying and fixing your Apex code and flows. To identify required updates, enable Test asynchronous sharing recalculation in Apex tests on the Sharing Settings page. To test your changes, enable this release update in a sandbox before enabling it in production.
Return Users to Their Previous Page After Session Timeout: – In all LWR sites, authenticated users are now returned to the page they were viewing before their session ended. Previously, the session timeout notification redirected users to the login page, and upon logging back in, they were returned to the Home page.
1. This change applies to LWR sites accessed through Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
Get Null Values Easily with the New Is Null Operator in Data Mappers: – Use the new IS NULL operator in Omnistudio Data Mapper Extract and Turbo Extract to filter null or empty records. Previously, the equality operator (=) didn’t consistently handle null filtering, often requiring complex workarounds. For example, to get records with empty account IDs, a Data Mapper operation such as AccountId = null AND Phone != null was required. With the IS NULL operator, you can explicitly filter blank fields, without adding an additional condition, such as != null.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience, Experience Cloud sites, and all versions of Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions where Omnistudio is enabled.
2. This feature is available to Omnistudio customers who use the standard runtime and standard designer.
Generate Larger Documents with Expanded File Size Support: – Scale document generation to support larger outputs, generating single PDF, DOCX, or PPTX files up to 200 MB. This enhancement enables high-volume, media-rich, and evidence-heavy use cases and helps you generate complete documents in one pass without splitting content or assembling files outside Salesforce.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions of Agentforce Revenue Managament, formerly Revenue Cloud, with the Revenue Events Starter Pack license, and the Revenue Cloud Advanced or Revenue Cloud Billing license.
Replace Instanced URLs in API Traffic: – To prevent disruption after infrastructure updates that change your instance name, replace instanced URLs in API traffic with your org’s My Domain login URL. Support for instanced URLs in API traffic ends in Summer ’26.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in all editions except Database.com.
Track Attempts to Use Uninstalled Connected Apps: – You can now track denied attempts to use connected apps that aren’t installed in your org (uninstalled apps for short). By tracking these denied attempts, you can identify both legitimate and suspicious attempts to use uninstalled apps. You can decide whether to allow usage of the app or to block it entirely.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) in all editions.
2. <<How>>
  1. On the Connected Apps OAuth Usage page in Setup, review the Denied Attempts Due to Usage Restriction column. You can also review the date and time of the most recent denied attempt.
API-Only Users Are Blocked from Bridging into UI Sessions: – To improve security, users with the API Only User permission can no longer bridge into UI sessions by using the frontdoor URL generated by the /services/oauth2/singleaccess endpoint, also known as UI Bridge API. This change can break integrations that unintentionally grant UI access to API-only users.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) in all editions.
2. <<How>>
  1. If you call the /services/oauth2/singleaccess endpoint with an access token that was issued to an API-only user, the call fails with this error.
    
    Copy Code Copied Use a different Browser
    
    { "error": "invalid_token", "error_description": "this token is invalid, unknown, or malformed" }
  2. To allow these users to bridge into UI sessions via frontdoor URLs, remove the API Only User permission.
Migrate SAML-Enabled Connected Apps to External Client Apps: – Bring the improved usability and security of the external client apps framework to your SAML single sign-on (SSO) configurations. With a few clicks, you can now transform SAML-enabled connected apps into external client apps. After migration, you get an identical external app with all of your SAML configurations, while your old connected app remains in read-only mode.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) in all editions.
2. External client apps are a more secure, modern replacement for connected apps. We recommend that you use external client apps instead of connected apps whenever possible. Previously, the external client apps migration tool supported only the OAuth plugin. Now, you can migrate apps that use the SAML plugin.
3. <<How>>
  1. In the App Manager, find your connected app and click Migrate to External Client App.
New Configurable Settings Added to Health Check: – Health Check now provides deeper insight by tracking seven new configurable security settings, including MFA status, SAML enablement, and session management controls.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
Simplify Your Flow Builder Layout by Collapsing Branching Elements: – Manage complex flows more efficiently by hiding unnecessary detail on the canvas. Now you can collapse and expand branching elements with Flow Builder, including Wait, Decision, Loop, Path Experiment, and Async Actions, helping you focus on the key parts of your flow. To ensure a consistent workflow, Flow Builder remembers your specific expand and collapse preferences. This layout is saved automatically and locally in your browser, making it easier to return to your work without changing the view for other users.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience, Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
2. <<How>>
  1. Collapse and expand branching elements in the Flow builder canvas by clicking Collapse or Expand next to an element’s name.
Record-Triggered Flows Issue with Non-Insertable Fields Was Fixed: – Record-triggered flows that run before records are saved now respect the internal writeable status of non-insertable fields. If existing flows try to update fields that aren’t editable, this error message appears: Invalid target field for field update.
Preview Files Natively in Screen Flows: – Eliminate friction in document-based processes by enabling your users to review file content directly within a screen flow. The new File Preview screen component removes the requirement to download files externally, ensuring more streamlined document review and approval workflows.
1. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
2. <<How>>
  1. In Flow Builder, drag the File Preview component to your screen element. Configure the component by setting the Content Document ID to reference the document you want users to preview. Add a descriptive label to help users understand what they’re reviewing. At runtime, users can view the document content within the screen flow and proceed with their tasks without interruption.

Salesforce Mobile App Enhancements

The new Salesforce mobile app is available for all editions, except Database.com, without an additional license. Your org’s Salesforce edition and licenses, as well as a user’s assigned profile and permission sets, determines the Salesforce data and features that are available to each user.

Complete Tasks Directly from Custom Phone Notifications (Beta): – Users can now complete tasks directly from custom phone notifications on their Salesforce mobile app. Let’s say your VP of sales wants to approve an expense report. They can do that on the fly just from a notification received on their mobile phone. A task that before took four clicks has now been streamlined into one.
1. This change applies to the Salesforce mobile app for iOS and Android on phones and tablets in all editions, except Database.com.
Access Record Attachments in the Offline App with Files Priming (Generally Available):- When you create or update a briefcase to select records to prime for the Offline App (Salesforce Mobile App Plus), you can now also include files attached to the selected records. The Files Priming feature, which was previously in beta, is now generally available. When you prime file attachments for offline use, you enable your mobile workforce to access important attachments even in low-connectivity settings. For example, you can configure a briefcase to prime attached images for offline use, so that technicians can view the images during site visits or service appointments.
1. This change applies to the Salesforce Mobile App Plus for iOS and Android on phone and tablets in all editions, except Database.com.
Easily Configure Offline App Landing Pages with Mobile Builder (Generally Available): – With Mobile Builder for Salesforce Mobile App you can customize offline landing pages for your mobile users without writing a single line of code. Now you can show the most important records to your mobile users so they can quickly and easily take relevant actions based on their use cases. Mobile Builder was beta in Spring ’24 and is now generally available.
1. These changes apply to Salesforce Mobile App Plus for Android and iOS on phones and tablets in all editions, except Database.com.
Log In Faster with Single Sign-On: – Leverage quicker access to the Salesforce Mobile App so you can get straight to work. The Salesforce Mobile App now also supports single sign-on (SSO) when logging in with your email address instead of a username, streamlining your login experience.
1. This change applies to all versions of the mobile app in all editions, in production orgs only.
