    Did the release overview Webinars spread out across the different applications go by the way side?  i have not seen the notice now for a couple of releases, maybe more.  I thought i was just too busy, and forgot, but i think now they are not being done any longer.  Sorry if i am late to the party on this going away.

Hi Trailblazers! Thanks for your patience! Here is the Summer '26 Release Feature Matrix

 

For anyone new to this release matrix, this is a tool some of our customers have used for several years to conduct an initial review, decide how to incorporate new features into their roadmap and assign features to team members for further review and discussion. You can sort/filter by Product, Cloud, etc. but more importantly you can filter by availability to users, admins/developers and those handful of features (especially pilot programs) that require you to contact Salesforce to activate. 

  

A few caveats to be aware of:

  • Please understand this document may contain errors and/or omissions. Always rely on the official Release Notes as your final reference. This matrix is based on the Preview Release Notes as of May 8, 2026.  
  • Keep an eye on the Release Notes changelog for updates. As always, please base any purchasing decisions on currently available functionality.

Thank you to @Nandita Shah for creating this for every release. 🎇

Spring ‘26 Documentation Review - REVIEWERS NEEDED

 

Hi all! I'm the content strategist for the Education Cloud documentation team. I'm hoping that you would like to lend your eyes, expertise, and voice and help us in reviewing our new documentation for the Spring '26 release

.  

 

Each release, the documentation team conducts “field validation” reviews where we ask partners, customers, and internal teams to review our new documentation. These reviews are just for the new features, and we take the feedback from reviewers and create work items for the team to address in current and future articles. The feedback that we get from y'all is so valuable, very much appreciated, and makes our docs better now and in the future!

 

Here’s an overview of the process:

  • I’ll send you a spreadsheet with the articles to review.
  • You can review all of the articles or just the areas that interest you the most. Whatever you have time for!
  • When you’re done, I’ll go through your comments and create work items for our writers.
  • At the end of the review process, I will send an invite for all of us to hop on a call and talk about the documentation experience in a more general sense.

Let me know if you'd like to participate (I hope so!) and I'll send the materials. I would like to have the reviews completed by March 1st

. That should give me enough time to review your feedback and create work items before I report out to my team. 

 

Have a happy day!
