Platform

Platform User License Enhancements

Bring Agentforce and prompts into your custom apps and scale end-user access to custom agents through these Platform User Licenses: Platform Login Credits, Lightning Platform Starter, and Lightning Platform Plus.

DX Inspector Enhancements

Commit changes to GitHub directly from DX Inspector by selecting the changes and the relevant DevOps Center project and work item. Manually add metadata to include additional metadata types that source tracking couldn’t detect automatically.

Scale Test Integration with DevOps Testing

Enhance DevOps Testing with Scale Test. As a test provider, Scale Test supports your load testing needs and seamlessly redirects to the Scale Test UI for deeper insights into test runs and live test views.

Agentforce for Developers Enhancements

The Standard Extension Pack now includes Agentforce for Developers tools like Dev Assistant, inline autocomplete, and test case generation for Apex and LWC.

Data Mask & Seed

Speed up development with data seeding, now available with Salesforce Data Mask. With Data Mask & Seed, get both Salesforce Data Mask and Own Accelerate’s capabilities to seed realistic, secure test data in any sandbox.

Best Effort Seeding

Seed data with Levels Templates more reliably by allowing seeding jobs from backups to continue, even when some object data is missing. Data seeding now intelligently skips missing objects when populating from backups in a Levels Template. It seeds all data from backups that match your template, maintaining job progress despite source environment changes to deliver viable testing environments.

Backup & Recover Enhancements

With the new Data Changes Tracker in Continuous Data Protection, you can visualize data changes over a specific period to pinpoint and address data events. Additionally, new UI/UX enhancements include improved navigation, single-click Compare from Smart Alerts, notifications, and design.

Archive Search with Agentforce

Surface archived records in natural language from anywhere within your Salesforce org by enabling a new agent action in Archive.

Salesforce Discover Enhancements

Ensure that Salesforce Discover captures the full history of your Salesforce data by automatically adding backups from Backup & Recover based on the objects in an existing service. Additionally, retry failed or canceled Salesforce Discover jobs with a single click.

Privacy Center Enhancements

Get more value out of Privacy Center faster with solution kits tailored to your Salesforce cloud footprint. Policy previews show file and attachment deletion and retention information, reducing configuration errors. New page enhancements make job status viewing easy with increased visibility.

Policy Center Enhancements

Create and manage Data Detect policies in a single view in Policy Center. And navigate your unified list of all policies more easily with policy list filters.

External Key Management for Data Cloud

Create a secure connection to AWS Key Management Service (KMS). Salesforce uses your key stored in AWS KMS to encrypt and decrypt Salesforce data. External Key Management (EKM) key pairs now encrypt data including Data Cloud lakehouse data, real-time data stores, unstructured data, and search indexes.

Analytics

Agentforce for Analytics: Concierge

Concierge, an Agentforce skill, enables you to ask questions and receive trusted, actionable answers in natural language with visual insights. It helps Agentforce quickly get insights, drill down deeper, and ultimately make faster, more informed decisions.

Agentforce for Analytics: Data Pro

Data Pro, an Agentforce skill, accelerates analytics workflows such as data preparation and modeling. In the near term, it includes semantic model curation capabilities, such as relationship suggestions and calculated field creation.

Tableau Semantics: Semantic Learning

Semantic Learning, an AI-driven capability, expands agent knowledge through real-time Q&A, while integrating business preferences and existing context into a centralized repository. It ensures increasingly accurate and relevant responses over time.

Tableau Next and Slack Integration

Share live analytics on Slack. You can now share metrics and dashboards across team channels, direct messages, and canvases, allowing teams to collaborate on data and insights in the flow of work.

Parameters and Toggle Widgets

Make dashboards more interactive and efficient with Parameters and Toggle Widgets. Dynamically explore data from a single layout by swapping measures, swapping groups, or adjusting time ranges and other filters, for an engaging analytics experience.

MuleSoft

MuleSoft MCP Support

Standardize AI communication by using an out-of-the-box connector to make any new or existing Mule application compatible with any agent or model that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
