Release notes: Two words that spark joy in the heart of every Salesforce admin, right? OK, we know the release notes are L-O-N-G. After three months of development, we can’t help but compile a few hundred pages’ worth of information to cover each change to the product and how that change affects you. But, we’re also committed to making the release notes experience work for you. So here are ways you can find what you’re looking for—quickly.
See only the release notes you want by edition, feature impact, and product area by clicking Show Filters at the top of the release notes. Then filter away.
You can also narrow search results. Just specify your criteria and click Filter.

We’ve heard you loud and clear: You want a way to see only those release notes that apply to Lightning Experience or Salesforce Classic. We’re working on plans to add this to filtering, but we don’t have a projected date yet.

For tips from fellow Salesforce users about identifying new features, visit the Release Readiness and Feature Adoption Success community. Here’s a recent discussion about reviewing the release notes as an Excel spreadsheet.
