Sign up for a pre-release environment on.

Why require a pre-release organization? It's a test environment with new release features activated, so you'll have plenty of time to try them out and see which ones are best for your company. You can log back into your pre-release org for Winter '22 if you already had one. Join the Trailblazer Community Treasure Hunt to learn what other customers are interested in if you're not sure what features you want to deploy.

Preview Release Notes are now available.

With a better user experience, Salesforce Help is the new home for release notes. It's now time to look at the release notes. Filters can be used to see only the portions that are relevant to the edition and clouds you are now using.

The cut-off date for the sandbox

Before the scheduled production upgrade, use your sandbox to obtain early access to new features and test your configurations. To get the Spring '22 preview in your sandbox, you must have an active sandbox on a preview instance before January 6, 2021. Because your sandbox is already on a preview instance, you usually don't need to do anything. The sandbox preview instructions article on Salesforce Help has all the information you need.

January 7 and 8, 2022

Upgraded sandboxes

If you chose to use sandbox preview, your selected sandboxes will be upgraded to Spring '22 this weekend. The sandboxed preview, like the pre-release program, allows you to test new features without affecting your real environment. The ability to test new features in a configuration that matches your production environment is an added benefit of the sandbox preview.

The website for the Spring '22 Release is now up and running.

The website for the release has gone up. We understand that everyone processes information released in a different way. As a result, Trailhead's Release Highlights module is a quick and easy method to learn about features. We offer demo videos, Trailhead modules, community forums, and more to make the process as simple as possible for you.

The Release Readiness Trailblazers group will have the content you need to get your organization's users up to speed on the new features you want to roll out if you're ready for your upgrade.
