Winter will hit (my customers‘ instances) during this weekend and if you are in similar situation you can still be prepared for that.
1100+ pages but at the end if feels like all the important things have been pushed to production during summer (passkeys, report exports needs to be confirmed by 2FA and a few more) and the regular release is about a lot of things in flow but otherwise mainly about some smaller features.
My top 3
- Make Inline Editing in List Views More Flexible
- Preview Records from Lightning Reports Without Losing Context
- Filter Collections Without Loop Elements
And here is the rest of interesting things (to me):
- Search Google Workspace in Real Time with Federated Search in Agentforce Coworker
- easier deployment of agents with new (simplified) metadata structure – when I saw AiAgentDefinitionVersion I had to smile as I recalled FlowVersion which has been discountinued after being used for some time
- Builder Central (Beta) – if all the code generated by LLMs isn’t enough and you don’t want to stop with Agentforce Vibes, you can use this new functionality to generate your app based on a prompt. Also new skills for Claude Code
- send emails from Scratch orgs with unverified email addresses – just add EmailAuthorizationSettings.enableSubstituteFromAddress to your scratch org definition file
- Hyperforce Is Coming to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) – US only
- Data 360 No Longer Required for Setup with Agentforce – I probably wonder why it was need in the beginning and what it means for the future
- Manage Multiple Users at Once in Setup with Agentforce – exactly the use-case I had back then and rather used Claude to do it, glad now I can use it natively in SF
- Explore 124 More Objects in Setup with Agentforce or Explore 190+ More Objects in Setup with Agentforce or Explore Over 100 Additional Objects in Setup with Agentforce – not sure but I love numbers so this catched my attention. Still wonder why it cannot support everything right away
- Track Where Your Tableau Next Dashboards Are Embedded
- Loyalty Management – Optimize Storage with Just-in-Time Member Currency Record Creation – I remember the surprise when I found during our user group about the Loyalty Management that you need to create these records in all possible currencies even though they might not be ever used
- Find Slack and Tableau Solutions in AgentExchange
Flow
- Build Flows Faster with Auto-Generated Element Labels – feels cheap that the name will be auto generated and somehow auto generation of description feels more useful
- Group Elements to Organize and Simplify Flows – looks like complex flows will be easier to oversee
- Filter Collections Without Loop Elements – again I hit it today that the filter doesn’t return collection but I need to somehow filter over it. Now we have this new resource type we can use

- Monitor Flow Performance Right on the Canvas – need to be enabled in Process Automation Settings but doesn’t need Data 360 anymore – feels like the Data 360 goes slowly away or what?
- Reduce Flow Failures Caused by Record Lock Contention – somehow had a feeling it was new in last release, but probably not
- Process Multiple Records with Screen Flows from List Views and Related Lists – it was possible also before but now it is more admin friendly
- Test Flows in Isolation with Mock Outputs for Action and Subflow Elements (Beta) – while Apex goes with @IntegrationTest which calls the endpoint during test instead of using mocks (as we needed so far), flow goes in the other direction
Data 360
- Ingest Microsoft OneNote Content into Data 360
- Connect Data 360 to Databricks on Azure with a Salesforce-Managed Private Network Route
- Data 360 Engagement Timeline – migrate from previous component (Data Cloud Profile Engagements widget)
- Activate Audiences to Reddit – didn’t realize this site is so crucial that even Salesforce will support it
Field Service
- so many things got fixed over last months but I’m not sure I’m seeing the same information for other clouds, which is a bit sad
- Seamlessly Book and Schedule Multiday Service Appointments – it was pain historically as the multi day appointments were hard to schedule but seems like finally they found a way how to handle them better
- Improve Productivity and Efficiency by Optimizing Multiday Service Appointments
- Orchestrate Complex Work Chains Seamlessly in the Scheduling Console
Education Cloud
- Share Billing Details with Your Students – Revenue Cloud Advanced is needed, but seems that the Educational Institutions have a lot of potential to improve their processes with Salesforce
- Spread Tuition Payments with Flexible Payment Plans
- Resolve Student Absences with the Attendance Management Agent including Slack integration
- Automate Faculty Access to Course Data with a Standardized and Secure Model – meaning also that access to course will be automatically withdraw from the tutor at the end of the semester
- Plan Your Academic Calendar with AI Tools, Build Your Course Catalog with AI Tools – those two or three usecases for AI are amazing to see, the data preparation for these things was super time consuming
Marketing Cloud
- Choose the Best Image with Recommenders – no more guessing by the marketer, leave this work to AI
- Route Outbound Emails Through Your Own Mail Servers instead of using Salesforce’s ones
- View an Email as a Web Page – probably never realized it isn’t there and I use it a lot especially for some newsletters
- Define Content Requirements for Distributed Marketing and Alerts – we can allow Sales people to use our templates and still control whether they included mandatory phrases in the email (this is not an investment recommendation for example)
- Personalize and Send Distributed Marketing Messages at Scale
- Show or Hide Dependent Form Fields Based on User Input
- Connect Forms and Landing Pages to More Data Sources – looks like now we can connect it directly to Salesforce instead of pushing everything into Data 360
- Automatically Update Consent Data in Record-Triggered Flows – they didn’t work before and we had to use event-triggered ones
- Skip the Wait When Sending Emails to Contact and Lead Lists – no more need for waiting for segment refresh and everything else what Data 360 has to do before send
- Extend Marketing Cloud Next Access to Platform Plus Users – the Campaign object was always the reason to go with Sales (or Service) Cloud license, now we can use the cheaper one. Still they won’t provide it to only the regular Platform license which is the cheapest 🙁
Developers
- Handle Larger Datasets with Increased Apex Heap Limits – 6->10, 12->25 – this is probably bigger than it sounds
- Avoid Workflow Disruptions by Enabling Elastic Limits for Batch Jobs (Beta)
- Test External Services and HTTP Callouts in Apex Integration Tests (Developer Preview) – no more needs for mocks? See Bob’s article
- Get Compiler Warnings for Apex API Versions 9.0 Through 19.0
- Assign Use Any API Auth Permission for SOAP login() (Release Update)
- Simplify REST API Version Management – finally we can put the „latest“ in the URL instead of specifying concrete version and then tell the other party they should update it for the new one
- Compare Values Between Fields in SOQL (Beta) – no more need for formula field?
- Web Console instead of Developer Console, which can be still enabled
- Send Site Emails from a Verified Address with Email Domain Substitution – for Experience Cloud it wasn’t required so far, now we have it here as well
- Send Sensitive Emails Securely with a Secondary Sender Email Address – this one is interesting as it can send sensitive emails (like Forgot password emails) directly from Salesforce servers rather than utilizing your relay server which can save the email somewhere
Admins
- Make Inline Editing in List Views More Flexible – any field (even those which are not on page layout) and record type limitation removed – need to be enabled in setup and while I love the former I don’t like the first one, but the enablement is divided between those two so all good
- Build Reusable Quick Action Experiences with Page-Based Quick Actions (Beta) – we will be able to create a „pallet“ of quick actions we want to use across Lightning Pages and then easily add everywhere. Taking into account it will support visibility rules this might be really handy!
- Filter joined reports with Common Rows Only (Beta) to show only the records that actually match
- Preview Records from Lightning Reports Without Losing Context (Beta) – feature which needs to be enabled in setup, but wow, no more opening of records in new tabs!

- Accelerate Meeting Follow-Ups with AI Suggested Actions
- Leverage Hybrid Cloud and On-Device AI Audio Processing
- Capture Post-Meeting Insights with Voice Notes
- Use Call Coaching on Video Calls to Drive Seller Success
- Keep Manual Shares When Transferring Records – before the manual shares have been removed when record owner has been changed, now they can stay. Setting which needs to be enabled in Setup
- Import Authorized Email Domains into a Sandbox – they didn’t transfer before and have to be added after each sandbox refresh
- Fine-Tune Which Emails and Events to Exclude from Einstein Activity Capture
- Connect Partner Portal Users‘ Calendars with Einstein Activity Capture
- Manage Stakeholder Details and Connections in Relationship Maps
Service
- Agentforce IT Service – while ServiceNow is moving into the CRM sphere Salesforce goes the other way. I didn’t have time yet to dive deeper into the IT Service module but it seems more powerful release by release
- Generate Enhanced Case Summaries in Five More Languages in Czech
- Easily View Original Case Attachments Inline in Case Details – they aren’t stored in separate files anymore but visible right at the original email (needs to be enabled)
- Reduce Storage Bloat and Keep Records Clear by Deleting Outdated Case Milestones – previously they were not removed from closed cases
- Reuse Modular Content Across Articles with Knowledge Blocks
- Prevent Duplicate Articles with Knowledge Similarity
Slack
- Sell Smarter in Slack: Agentforce Sales and the New Go Page
- Search, Summarize, and Take Action with Slackbot in Salesforce – I still have to find out how to explain to users when it is better to use what
