How Do You See What Release Of Salesforce You Have?

You can see what release of Salesforce you have by checking your org's instance on the Salesforce Trust website.

This is the most reliable method for finding the major release (e.g., Summer '25) and the current patch version. The process involves two steps: first, find your org's instance name in Company Information, and second, use that name to look up the version on the Salesforce Status website.

Method 1: Using the Salesforce Trust website

This is the most accurate way to find the major release and any patch information.

Step 1: Find your instance name

• In Salesforce Lightning:
  1. Click the gear icon and select Setup.
  2. In the "Quick Find" box, type Company and select Company Information.
  3. Find the Instance field and copy its value (e.g., NA21, EMEA5).
• In Salesforce Classic:
  1. Click Setup.
  2. Under "Administer," go to Company Profile > Company Information.
  3. Copy the value from the Instance field.

Step 2: Look up the release on the Trust website

1. Navigate to the Salesforce Trust website: status.salesforce.com.
2. Paste your instance name into the search bar labeled "Search Instance, Domain, POD or MID".
3. Click the search result that corresponds to your instance.
4. On the right-hand side of the page, under "Instance Details," you will see the Version, which includes the major release and the current patch level (e.g., "Summer '25 Patch 8.2").

Method 2: Appending the URL with releaseVersion.jsp

This method offers a faster, direct check from within your Salesforce org's browser.

1. Log in to your Salesforce org.
2. In your browser's address bar, append /releaseVersion.jsp to your org's URL (e.g., https://my-domain.lightning.force.com/releaseVersion.jsp).
3. Hit Enter. The page will display the current release information, such as ReleaseName=Summer '25. This method is especially useful for quickly checking sandboxes.

Method 3: The API version check

This method is most relevant for developers and administrators working with code and integrations. The API version usually corresponds to the major release.

1. Navigate to Setup.
2. In the "Quick Find" box, search for and select Apex Classes.
3. Click the New button.
4. Click the Version Settings tab.
5. The highest available API version listed will correspond to your org's current major release. For example, API Version 64.0 corresponds to the Summer '25 release.

Method 4: Visual cues during login

While not a reliable method for precise tracking, the login screen can provide a quick, though temporary, indicator of the major release.

• When you log in or refresh your browser, a release-specific logo or image may briefly appear in the top-left corner.
• For example, a new image with a "Summer '25" logo would indicate the latest major release. Because these visuals can change or be customized, this method is not as reliable as checking your instance on the Trust website.

Why is knowing your Salesforce release important?

Understanding your org's release version is critical for several reasons:

• Adopting new features: Salesforce introduces hundreds of new features and enhancements with each seasonal release (Winter, Spring, and Summer). Knowing your release allows you to identify and leverage these new capabilities.
• Planning for updates: Releases can introduce changes that affect your existing customizations, code, or integrations. Administrators can prepare for these updates and test them in sandboxes to avoid any disruption.
• Troubleshooting: When debugging issues, the specific patch version can be important. Salesforce Support and internal developers may need this information to ensure consistency and isolate problems.
• Sandbox management: Salesforce often upgrades sandbox instances several weeks before production environments. Checking your release version allows you to confirm that your sandbox is on the upcoming release for testing purposes.
