Salesforce Summer ’21 Release - key dates and Preview information

Summer ’21 Release (key updates)

Although the Spring ‘21 release seems like a short time ago, we are all very delighted to learn that Summer ‘21 release is just around the corner! It’s so vital to take this time, pre-release to check all your use cases to ensure that they are all running smoothly. 

There are numerous details you need to get ready with each release, however at this step, there are a few things you'd like to do: First, check Salesforce Trust and see when your instance will be updated - After clicking on your instance name you need to hit “Maintenances”. You can know your instance name by heading to your company information in setup or checking the URL of your Salesforce. This will tell you the exact date of the Salesforce Summer 21 release hitting your Org.

Note: If you are unaware of your instance, then you can identify it by heading to company info within Setup in your Salesforce Org or by the URL link of Salesforce in your browser.

Key dates:

Here we are sharing with you  the main release weekends available so far.
