10. SQL for Tableau CRM
Customers can now query their Tableau CRM using SQL, while keeping the same performance at scale and the native CRM features of SAQL queries.

11. Tableau CRM Output Connector
With two new Output Connectors for Tableau CRM,
now you can share powerful data curated in
Tableau CRM to Tableau Online. Or you can bring
data from multiple sources and write back
aggregates and metrics to Salesforce for operational
purposes. Get the same powerful insights, all in
Salesforce, Tableau Online, and Tableau CRM.

12. Trailblazer Community

13. In-app Guidance
Targeted Prompts
Target a specific page element to
show your users exactly what
you’re referring to with the
newest type of in-app guidance.
Available for
supported Setup
pages
View and author custom prompts
to aid feature discovery and show
admins and developers how to
configure apps and features.
Record Types are now
supported
Show prompts for a specific record
type or all record types. Customize
your message so that users get
detailed help for the unique layout
and picklists of different record
types.

14. Inline Editing (Beta)
Increase your productivity by directly
editing fields in the report than going to
the object, looking for the field and editing
& saving it there
Users can now inline edit date, picklist
and lookup fields in addition to text,
number and checkbox fields.
Multi field editing is not yet supported. It’s
planned for the next release.

15. Permissions and Profiles
● Admin time saver: Faster Permission Set License Assignments
In Setup, you can now click directly into each Permission Set License and manage assignments. Save time by
assigning multiple users to a permission set license together, or by removing multiple users all at once.
● Grant Access Based on Activated User Sessions for Permission Set Groups
Previously, you created individual session-based permission sets, but now you can set sessions at the permission
set group level as well!
● Manage Assignment Expiration in Permission Sets and Permission Set Groups (Beta)
You can now view and update current assignment expirations for your permission sets and your permission set
groups - before, you had to recreate them with the correct expiration date.
● Create Custom Profiles from Scratch via the SOAP API
Use the Profile SOAP API object to create custom profiles that start without any permissions enabled. Previously,
to create a custom profile, you cloned an existing profile in Setup and then removed permissions that you didn’t
want the assigned users to have.

16. Developer
Enhancements

17. Validate Mobile CSS
When using CSS in your
Lightning Web Components,
it’s important to think about
mobile usage. We’ve added
validation warnings in VS
Code to notify you if the
CSS that you’re using isn’t
ideal for mobile devices —
for example, if your font size
is too small to be readable
on a small screen

18. SOQL Builder in VSCode
SOQL Builder and its
accompanying
language server can
help you be more
productive while
writing SOQL. You can
download the SOQL
extension from the
marketplace. After
you try out SOQL
Builder, check out our
GitHub repo to send
us feedback.

19. Org Specific Lightning Page
Performance Metrics
● See your users’ performance metrics to help you
decide which recommendations to take or to defer
● Data from the last 90 days of use is analyzed and
displayed in your Org-Specific Metrics card results
and includes:
○ your users’ network latency
○ browser speed
○ number of cores
● If the Lightning page that you’re analyzing isn’t
activated, the metrics shown reflect all users in the
org. After the page is activated, the metrics are
filtered to reflect only the users that the page is
assigned to.

20. Flow Listview for Triggered Flows
Now a dedicated listview for your Triggered Flows that tells you right on the List view what the
triggering object or platform event is for this flow. This includes both Record-Triggered Flows and
Platform Event Triggered Flows.

21. Rollback Element
● New Screen Flow element rolls back all
committed changes
● Rolls back all database commits in the same
transaction without failing the Flow
● Note that the best practice is to add the
rollback element after a fault connector.
● Rollback is only available in screen flows
because it does not support bulk use cases.
Get more control over what happens in a
transaction

22. Lightning Component Changes
lightning-input-field
This field type is now supported.
• Time—An input field that displays time selection in
15-minute increments. The time format is
automatically validated against the user’s Salesforce
locale. On mobile devices, time fields use native
mobile time pickers.

• field-name—The Name compound field is now
supported for the User object. Previously, you had
to include both the FirstName and LastName fields.
lightning-output-field
This field type is now supported.
• Time—Displays the formatted time based on the
user’s locale.
lightning:inputField
This field type is now supported.
• Time—An input field that displays time selection in
15-minute increments. The time format is
automatically validated against the user’s Salesforce

23. Other Component Changes
lightning-button
This attribute is new.
• aria-labelledby—Specifies the ID or list of IDs of the
element or elements that contain visible descriptive
text to describe the button.
Link AsyncApexJob records to the applicable
CronTrigger.
Use the new CronTriggerId field on the existing
AsyncApexJob object.

24. View Dependencies for Lightning Web Components
Use the dependencies tree
viewer to see which custom
components and Apex classes
that a Lightning web
component uses. You can
quickly see the structure of a
component and navigate to
the source for its
dependencies.

25. Plan for required
changes

26. Plan for legacy API
retirement
All Salesforce API transactions are recorded in Event
Monitoring logs. Event Monitoring normally
requires a specific license, but we’ve exposed the
API Total Usage (ApiTotalUsage) event to all
customers for free, so that you can monitor
legacy API consumption and identify clients and
integrations that need to be upgraded.
Head over to this repository and follow the setup
instructions. The project’s Apex code scans
your ApiTotalUsage event logs and reports calls to
legacy APIs that were made during the log
retention window.

27. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Requirement
Learn More About MFA
To ensure MFA is enabled for
Salesforce users:
* MFA is currently available for most Salesforce products.
** Nail the Basics of Cybersecurity with MFA by Jim Alkove, Forbes, January 29, 2021
Beginning February 1, 2022, Salesforce will start requiring customers to use MFA in
order to access Salesforce products through the user interface.*
Use your SSO provider’s MFA
service
Turn it on directly in your
Salesforce products
Enabling MFA is one of the easiest, most effective
actions you can take to help secure your org(s)

28. Now you can control which field is visible and hidden when an external user views another external user's profile (both
in the UI and in the API). 20 fields are now considered to be PII and masked to external users. As an admin, you can
see what fields you have categorized as PII in your org and you can also adjust any field in Object manager
After Winter ‘22, new orgs will not be able to use “Hide Personal Information”. Existing orgs must opt in by enabling
Enhanced Personal Information Management. This will be auto-enforced for all orgs by Winter ‘23 (October 2022)
