Heads up, #AwesomeAdmins – we’ll be performing maintenance on our Admin Playground sign-up infrastructure this weekend. During this maintenance window you won’t be able to create a brand-new Admin Playground. You’ll still be able to access any existing Admin Playgrounds. This maintenance is needed in order to bring the Winter ’16 update to new Admin Playgrounds. To get ready, review the Winter ’16 release notes and catch the recording from this week’s Winter ’16 release highlights webinar.
Friday, October 16, 2015 2PM PDT: New Admin Playground sign-ups pause and maintenance window begins.
Saturday, October 17, 2015 9PM PDT: Sign-ups resume for users in the AMER (North, Central, & South America) & EMEA (Europe, Middle East, & Africa) regions. Users outside these regions will see an error message when trying to create a new Admin Playground.
Sunday, October 18, 2015 1PM PDT: Maintenance window ends. Sign-ups resume for all users.
Note: These times are approximate. Make sure you’re following @SalesforceAdmns on Twitter, as updates will be posted there.
This same announcement applies to Developer Editions.

So when someone says, “Salesforce feels slow,” you’re expected to have answers—fast. Until recently, getting real performance insights often meant logging a […]
As Salesforce Admins, we’ve always been trusted with the hard stuff: business process, system integrity, and outcomes the business can rely on. We’re the ones who translate how work should happen into systems that actually make it happen—securely, consistently, and at scale. In 2026, that responsibility isn’t going away. It expands.
