Body

9. Client Payload limit increased
• Lightning Component batches server side actions in
Queue and make single server request
• Lightning Payload contains all server side actions and
their data in JSON format.
• Previously limit was 1MB but now its 4MB
• More power to Lightning Components

10. Automatic Style of Visualforce (Beta)
• In Visualforce page add lightningStylesheets="true“
• All apex component would automatically rendered in
Lightning or classic depending on users theme.

11. Debug Logs (Before Winter 18)
• Stores up to 50MB of logs
• Stays in system indefinitely
• Once limit reached, old logs get deleted

12. Debug Logs (Winter 18)
• Stored in Salesforce for 7 days only
• Within 15 minutes, debug logs up to 250MB can be
captured
• If we reach 250MB in 15 minutes, trace flags disabled
and email sent to user who last modified it.

13. Flow as Object Action (Beta)
• Flow is here from many years but not much adoption
• May be because you need launch flow by wrapping it in
VF or find out URL
• Now we can launch flow as Object specific Action

14. Flow Component in App builder
• Embed flow in Lightning App builder
• Pass Record Id
• Pass value to variables
• Show/hide conditionally

15. Custom Template using Lightning Component
Demo
