Although Spring ‘21 release seems like just a short time ago, we’re all very excited to hear that Summer ‘21 release is just around the corner! It’s important to take this time now, pre-release to check all your use cases to make sure they’re all running smoothly.
Check Salesforce Trust and see when your instance will be updated - click on your instance name and hit “Maintenances”. You can find your instance name by heading to your company information in setup or checking the URL of your salesforce.
Today, we wanted to share with you a few of the key dates available so far. We’ll come back and update this as new dates and information are released over the coming weeks.

Important Things to Note
Sandbox preview - This is very important as your sandbox will be updated and will be your first opportunity to test your system in Summer ‘21. You can also sign up for the pre-release Org, however, this will not have your configurations and will be an early option to test out Summer ‘21.
Your Sandbox update will depend on whether you have a “Preview” instance or “Non-Preview Instance”.
