The first weekend of the Salesforce Winter ’23 Release is almost here! As the new release is about to hit your Production, we are sure you must have tested all the major use cases in your Sandbox. Like every release cycle, the Winter ’23 release cycle is also loaded with features that will enhance your user experience and Salesforce instance. Plus, as Salesforce replaces Process Builder with Salesforce Flow, there are plenty of new enhancements in Flow that are worth shouting about.
So, without any delay, let’s just dive into this blog to learn about the new features rolled out by Salesforce in its Winter ’23 release cycle.
Top 10 Features in Winter ’23 Release
Here are our top 10 picks of the newest Winter ’23 features, including new capabilities in Salesforce Flow.
1. Multi-Factor Authentication Auto-Enablement
You might be surprised to see MFA on the list, as this is not something new. But The Multi-Factor Authentication enablement becomes mandatory by the end of 2023. Hence to ease the process, Salesforce will auto-enable MFA for direct logins during the first half of 2023.
2. Browse Reports and Dashboards in Analytics Home
Gear up for an upgraded browsing experience with the new filtering and browsing capabilities in Analytics Home. Now, Searching and Managing Reports and Dashboards become faster and easier.
3. Clone Lightning Apps
Currently, in Beta, the Clone Lightning Apps feature makes custom lightning app creation easier with just a click of a button.
4. Organize Lightning Pages with Dynamic Forms
Get a neat view of your record pages without having to create multiple page layouts with Dynamic Forms. Using Dynamic Forms, you can manage your Lightning Page to show the information at the right time and hide unnecessary records. The Lightning Page component visibility allows you to hide those non-required fields or sections.
