With the Salesforce spring’22 release right around the corner, here are some key dates as well as important information salesforce made available to the general audience.

Sandbox Preview Spring’22

From January, 7th 2022, Salesforce will start releasing Spring’22 updates to preview sandboxes. Not all sandboxes are preview sandboxes. You can use this Heroku app provided by salesforce to check if your sandbox is a preview sandbox.

You can take the below actions to make non preview sandbox to preview sandbox or vice-versa.

Make Non preview sandbox to preview sandbox

If your sandbox isn’t in the preview instance and you like it to be your preview sandbox, refresh your sandbox before January, 6th 2022

Make Preview sandbox to Non preview

Refresh your preview sandbox after January 7th, 2022 to make your spring’22 preview sandbox roll back to the Winter’22 release.
