Regular releases keep your org secure, scalable, and innovative—without manual upgrades or downtime. Each release introduces features that help admins, developers, and users work smarter and deliver more value.
Patch or maintenance updates are smaller, targeted fixes released between major updates. They’re designed to resolve specific bugs or performance issues without affecting your overall release version.
Start by reviewing the release notes to understand new features and changes. Then, test critical business processes in a sandbox, review integrations, review the Release Updates for any impact, and perform testing before planned enablement date for new features so your team can adopt updates smoothly.
The Sandbox Preview is a period before production when certain sandboxes are upgraded to the upcoming release. It gives admins and developers the opportunity to test new features, validate customizations, and identify potential issues before the release goes live.
Salesforce assigns sandboxes to Preview or Non-Preview instances based on your org’s server location. You can check your sandbox assignment on the Sandbox Preview Instructions page in Salesforce Help.
Testing time depends on your org’s complexity. A best practice is to dedicate time throughout the 4–6 week Sandbox Preview window to validate core business processes, custom code, and AgentExchange integrations.
