Releases
Turn release notes into an action plan
Move from reading updates to testing the changes that matter to your Salesforce org.

Release readiness is a repeatable process, not just a list of new features.
- Review the official release center and notes for products your org uses.
- Separate required changes from optional enhancements.
- Assign an owner to each relevant item and check availability and prerequisites.
- Validate critical user journeys and integrations in a suitable sandbox.
- Prepare a short communication for users and support teams.
- Review your Trailhead profile for maintenance requirements and deadlines.
Use the official Winter ’27 highlights module as a learning entry point, then consult detailed documentation for your specific configuration.
