☀️ Summer '25 Release

The Salesforce Summer '25 release is just around the corner!

According to the Trust Site, preview sandboxes are being upgraded this weekend, and the actual release is scheduled in three batches on May 16th, June 6th, and June 13th. You can check your instances release date on the trust site.

As normal, I read through the Summer '25 Release Notes to find goodies to share with you and listed them below.

Salesforce Flows

Get Related Records Faster (Beta)

Now you can get related records in a single query in Flow Builder, making it easier to manage related records. Previously, you managed related records by adding separate Get Records elements. 

Test Flows for Error Handling

With the new Has Error operator, you can configure negative assertions in a flow test.

Get More Control Over Component and Field Layout in Screen Flows

Customize the width of screen components and record fields, whether they’re in section columns or not. 

See How Your Screen Looks in Real Time on Different Screen Sizes

Check how your screen appears on large, medium, or small devices with the Preview Size feature.

Help Users Make Selections Faster by Adding Icons to Choice Resources

Reduce the cognitive load on your users by adding icons to each of their choices in choice resources. 

Display Choices in Tiles with the Visual Picker Component in Screen Flows

You can make choices in screen flows more visually engaging with the Visual Picker Component. Combining icons and text, the Visual Picker component helps users quickly select what they need without scrolling through long lists or dropdown menus.

Attach Files to Emails in Flow Builder Without Extra Processing

Attaching files to emails in Flow Builder is easier now that you can provide a text collection variable in the Attachment ID Collection field in the Send Email action.

Delivered Ideas

Delivered Idea: Update Object Permissions for All Custom Permission Sets or Profiles in One Step

Save time and clicks by editing object access simultaneously in all custom permission sets and profiles.

View and Manage a User’s Permission Sets, Groups, and Queues More Easily

With enhancements to the user access summary, you can add or remove a user from one or more permission sets, groups, or queues. You can also search, sort, and refresh the lists in each summary section.

Edit Permissions Faster in the Permission Set Summary

Instead of going to many Setup pages, you can now update the user, object, field, and custom permissions in a permission set directly from the summary view.

Improve Customer Engagement with Rich Text and Media in Case Comments (Beta)

Add rich text and media to your case comments to improve communication with your customers.

Close Cases Faster by Adding the Close Case Button to the Case Details Page in Lightning Experience

After resolving a customer’s case, service reps can close the case directly from the case details page by clicking the Close Case button. 

Use Dynamic Related Lists on Mobile (Beta)

With this beta feature, you can now use Dynamic Related Lists on mobile. 

General

Salesforce for Outlook Is Being Retired in December 2027

For the latest integration with Microsoft Outlook, we recommend moving to our next-generation products, the Outlook integration and Einstein Activity Capture.

Easily Remove Relationships Before Deleting a Custom Object

When you attempt to delete a custom object, if another standard object, custom object, or a Data Cloud data model object (DMO) contains a lookup field that references that custom object, you’ll now see a more detailed page.

Choose Which Dashboard Widgets to Refresh (Generally Available)

Refresh only the dashboard widgets that you need rather than the entire dashboard.

And that's a wrap.

Let me know if I missed anything important, and have a great weekend!

Best,

Nick
