The Salesforce Spring '26 release is here, and it's a significant one! There's a focus on enhancing Flows, improving setup tools, and increasing visibility into records and errors, aimed at making Salesforce easier and more efficient to manage. Depending on your instance, you'll be upgraded on one of the following dates:
If you want to find out exactly which weekend your Salesforce instance will be upgraded, head over to Salesforce Trust and click on ‘Maintenance.’ You’ll need to know which instance your org is running on, so to find out, go to your Setup menu and click on Company Information.
If you’d like a full run-through of the release, check out this Salesforce Help article for the breakdown.
In Salesforce Spring ’26, Salesforce introduced Setup with Agentforce (Beta) to help admins complete setup tasks faster and with fewer clicks. The AI assistant sits directly in Setup and lets admins use plain language to find settings, check access, and get guided help with configuration and troubleshooting, while keeping full control over any changes.
To use Setup with Agentforce, users must have these permissions:
To enable Setup with Agentforce, from Setup, enter Agentforce in the Quick Find box, and then click and turn on Setup with Agentforce (Beta). Then refresh your browser.

Salesforce now lets users delete files more flexibly with the new Delete Salesforce Files permission. Instead of needing broad admin rights, users with this permission can delete files they have access to, making file management simpler and more secure.
Admins can give this permission through a profile or permission set, allowing the right users to manage files without affecting overall org security.

Salesforce now allows Record-Triggered Flows on Content Document and Content Version records. This lets admins automate actions whenever files are created or updated, supporting reliable file operations within your org.

Salesforce Spring ’26 lets admins update existing Flows faster and more flexibly. Instead of rebuilding a record- or schedule-triggered Flow, you can use the Agentforce panel to make changes directly in Flow Builder using conversational prompts. This feature does not consume generative AI credits.
To get started, enable Data 360 and Einstein generative AI, open a Flow, and opt in to Agentforce to start editing with simple instructions.

Salesforce Spring ’26 introduces a Kanban Board component for Screen Flows, letting users see records as cards grouped by workflow stage directly within a Flow. Unlike traditional Kanban views in list pages, this Kanban is read-only. Users cannot move cards, but it gives instant visibility into record progress and details without leaving the Flow. This makes it easy to track workflow stages while guiding users through automated processes.

In Salesforce Spring ’26, Flow Builder now keeps your debug settings when you save a Flow. Values like triggering records, input variables, and debug options stay set while you work, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you test your Flow. To clear settings, just click Reset Debug Settings.

Non-fatal errors can be easy to miss while you work, making them hard to track and address. The Error Console provides a dedicated place that captures page and component errors without interrupting your work. It helps you stay on top of errors without losing focus on your work.
Enable it in Setup > User Interface > Advanced Settings by turning on Use Error Console for error reporting.
