Salesforce Facts by Abhishek

With the Winter'25 release, we now require to select a public group while creating a Developer or Developer-pro sandbox.  This feature has been termed as 'Selective Sandbox Access'.   This helps to provide access to the new sandbox to a group of users removing the tedious work of removing .invalid from the user's email. Users outside the public group would remain frozen. Reference:  https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.data_sandbox_selective_access.htm&type=5

There are two types of sandboxes in terms of Salesforce release: Preview sandbox and Non-Preview sandbox. A preview sandbox provides early access to new features before the production upgrade. These sandboxes are upgraded automatically approximately 6 weeks before the production release. A non-preview sandbox is not upgraded early and is ideally upgraded after the production release. To check the release type of the sandbox, go to production org -> setup -> search for Sandboxes in quick search -> check the release type of the sandboxes.
