It’s time to mark your calendars for the next Salesforce Release, Spring ’21!
Here are the most important dates you’ll want to mark in your calendar:
Admins can sign up for a Developer Edition environment, chock-full of all the Spring ’21 features to explore to your heart’s content. Developer environments are stand-alone environments where you can learn, build, and get comfortable with features and functionality.
Search the products you use for release updates in the Release Notes section of Salesforce Help. The notes will go live December 21, 2020, and we will share the link here. Make sure to check out the “You Asked for It” section, which lists all of the IdeaExchange ideas included in the release. First time reading the release notes? Here are some great tips.
Get help from the community! With each release, there are a number of blogs by community members that break it down. Check out the Release Readiness Trailblazer Community Group where you can continue to get updates, share your favorite features, and ask questions about the upcoming release.
January 8-9 is the refresh deadline to get early access to all the Spring ’21 features in one of your sandboxes. Once you’ve explored 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 impact the way your organization uses Salesforce. Check out this article for instructions on exactly how and when to refresh your sandbox.
