With Summer ‘19 just wrapped up, Winter ‘20 probably isn’t top of mind yet. But don’t forget that with the Winter ‘20 release, Salesforce will turn on Lightning Experience for all orgs that haven’t already done so. 

Users will still have access to Salesforce Classic when Lightning Experience is turned on. But Lightning Experience is where you want to be! All new Salesforce innovation happens in Lightning Experience, with reimagined classic functionality and features that are exclusive to Lightning Experience (including Path, Kanban, and Lightning console). Making the move to Lightning Experience benefits everyone, from business leaders and users to admins and IT teams. 

Take advantage of the built-in lead time before Lightning Experience is turned on to verify your org’s existing features and customizations in the new interface and to prepare your users via change management. Start now to ensure a better experience for everyone when Winter ‘20 releases. Better yet, don’t wait for Winter ‘20. Use the Lightning Experience Transition Assistant to take control and turn on Lightning Experience for your users as soon as you’re ready.
