Get help from the community! With each release, there are a number of blogs by community members that break it down. Check out the Release Readiness Trailblazer Community Group where you can continue to get updates, share your favorite features, and ask questions about the upcoming release.

January 8-9: Be sure to refresh your Sandbox

January 8-9 is the refresh deadline to get early access to all the Spring ’21 features in one of your sandboxes.

This is a great time to evaluate how specific features may be useful or impact the way your organization uses Salesforce.
