2. What is Salesforce Release ?
A Salesforce release update refers to the periodic deployment of new features,
enhancements, and fixes by Salesforce to its cloud-based CRM (Customer Relationship
Management) platform.
These updates typically occur three times a year: in the Spring, Summer, and Winter.
Each release introduces a set of new functionalities, improvements to existing features,
and bug fixes aimed at enhancing the overall user experience and keeping the platform up-
to-date with the latest industry standards and customer needs. Salesforce communicates
these updates through release notes, webinars, documentation, and other channels to
ensure users are aware of the changes and can leverage them effectively to optimize their
Salesforce usage.

Users eagerly anticipate the Spring release as it sets the tone for the
innovations Salesforce will bring throughout the year.
