May 4 is the refresh deadline to get early access to all the Summer ’18 features in one of your Sandboxes. Once you have explored with the Free Developer environment and reviewed the release notes for features that are important to you – it’s time to try out features related to your customizations in your sandbox. This is a great time to evaluate how specific features may be useful or impactful for the way your organization uses Salesforce. Check out this article for instructions on exactly how and when to refresh your sandbox!
Join Admin Evangelists and an expert panel for a 1hr deep dive into the release and what features Admins can’t miss. This preview is a great opportunity to hear an overview from Admin experts and may help you determine which features in the Release Readiness Live broadcast to focus on. There are a lot of features delivered with each release, so we go through all of it and provide a summary of the features most impactful to Admins.
Hear from Product Managers across the company and across the clouds as they share the latest features and demos of their products. This is a multi-day, live video streaming event that is available on-demand after the event.
Check the Maintenance Calendar for exactly when your Salesforce will get the Summer ’18 features. Scroll through the list and check your Salesforce instance (NA__, EMEA__) against the release dates listed in the calendar. Once the release window has passed for your environment, you will have access to the newest features in your production environment!
