You should subscribe for the full episode, but here are a few takeaways from our conversation with Jennifer Lee.
Video Content for the Spring '24 ReleaseIf you've come across any admin Release Readiness content, then you're probably familiar with Jennifer Lee and her army of GIFs. That's why I was excited to sit down with her and talk about what's coming in the Spring '24 Release and what content is coming out to help you get ready.
Jennifer's comprehensive blog post about her top Spring '24 Release features is a good place to start, but she's also putting together a truckload of video content that is not to be missed. There will be new episodes of "Automate This!" and "How I Solved It" on YouTube.
Meanwhile, on Salesforce+, mark your calendar for a special Admin Preview Live on Thursday, February 8th at 9 a.m. (PST). Join Jennifer and all the PMs for presentations, demos, and everything admins need to know for the Spring '24 Release. It's all a part of Release Readiness Live, which will be on Salesforce+ next week on February 6th, 7th, and 8th.
Spring '24 Release highlightsFor Jennifer, the release notes are like an onion—you always seem to find something new each time you go through them. Some features she's particularly excited about include:
-
Enhanced security management, like error messages that appear if you try to delete a permission set that is still assigned to users or permission set groups.
-
Flow enhancements like text templates, repeaters (no more placeholders!), and debugging data cloud-triggered flows.
-
An email alert page in setup to see which flows are sending things to your users.
-
Better report ownership management.
Jennifer also fills us in on some best practices for sandboxes to get your production org ready for a new release. You want to have two sandboxes: one that matches your production release that you use for deployment, and one that's on the upcoming release to try out new features. That way you have somewhere to prep for the future without accidentally breaking your current deployment.
Finally, Jennifer recommends that every admin should pull up "release updates" in the quickfind. That's the easiest way to see what changes coming up and how long you have to get ready. Armed with your pre-release sandbox, you'll be ready for all the new features before they're auto-enabled.
This episode was a great supplement to all the other Spring '24 Release content we're putting out there, so be sure to take a listen. And don't miss Admin Preview Live next Thursday, February 8th at 9 a.m. (PST).
