Salesforce launched its Spring '26 release cycle, making the Sandbox Preview available to customers on January 9, 2026. This preview allows administrators and developers to test new features in a non-production environment, ensuring a smooth transition before the official release.
The Spring '26 update focuses heavily on AI, data, and automation across the platform. Central to the January rollout are major upgrades to the Data Cloud, which serves as the foundation for AI-driven personalization.
The release also features enhancements to Einstein AI capabilities, Sales Cloud, and Service Cloud. These upgrades aim to improve productivity and customer experiences. The rollout occurs as the company anticipates its AI platform, Agentforce, will be a significant growth driver in 2026.
