What is preview and non Preview sandboxes?
Sandboxes are updated in groups, based on the instance where they’re located. All sandboxes on a preview instance get upgraded together, and all sandboxes on non-preview instances remain on the current release. The only way to change the upgrade status of a sandbox is to move it to another instance by refreshing it.
How do I know if sandbox is in preview?
To determine which instance your Sandbox is on, log into your production org and navigate to your Sandbox List page (Search “Sandbox” in the Quick Find bar on the Setup Home Page). Your sandbox instance is listed in the Location column above.
When do you get the sandbox preview upgrade?
The sandbox preview starts approximately 4-6 weeks before the production upgrade. You have plenty of time to enable, test, and explore new features. BUT…not ALL sandboxes get this early upgrade. Some, called “non-preview” sandboxes, don’t get the release until later, sometimes after the production release.
When to get the summer 21 sandbox preview?
Use your sandbox to get early access to new features and test your configurations before the scheduled production upgrade. You must have an active sandbox on a preview instance before May 6, 2021, to get the Summer ’21 preview in your sandbox. In most cases, you don’t need to do anything because your sandbox is already on a preview instance.
When do we upgrade sandbox instances in Salesforce?
Sandbox instances are split into two groups — preview and non-preview. We upgrade preview instances to the newer version of Salesforce before production instances (e.g. NA2, EU1, AP0) and non-preview instances towards the end of a major release along with the majority of production instances.
Where do I find my sandbox in setup?
You can find your sandbox list in Setup. Make a note of the instance numbers listed in the Location column. When you have the instance numbers, check each sandbox to see if it’s on a preview or non-preview instance. A good time to do this is right after the Sandbox Preview Instructions Blog is posted, but you can do it anytime.
