First, let me apologize, as this post is long overdue. Salesforce CMS went GA in Winter ’20, which was in October of 2019. You deserve better; if this was a real relationship, I would have sent flowers and chocolate-covered strawberries. But unfortunately for you (and fortunately for me), this is…

For this post we're going to focus on the collaboration features…
I'm a little late with this last post as everyone has Winter 21 as of last weekend. It's a big release and we wound up breaking up our blog into 5 parts due to that - and maybe that was a little ambitious as we're getting this last one out…

As I mentioned in our part 1, we're a little late with the write-ups this release due to Labor Day and then our Gears Annual Company Meeting. We're typically ahead of the release, but this weekend the last of the instances were updated and everyone is now on Winter 20.…
Community Lightning Experience (LEX) was rolled out two years ago and was touted not only as an improved customer & partner UI, but also as a way to build communities declaratively with more style and overall responsiveness (mobile first!). While the initial rollout did have some gaps, over the last 2…

Sorry for the delay in getting to part 3 of our Salesforce Summer 19 release write-up. I had some international travel the last two weekends and was able to spend some time pub crawling around London and then this past weekend was actually up in Montreal with the family. I'm…
