Permission Sets
Customers now have a single place to manage user permissions and access within permission sets, rather than a combination of 2 methods, reducing user dissatisfaction and confusion.
As Salesforce deprecates permission management within profiles, we are providing a tool to help customers smoothly transition from a profile to the equivalent permission sets.

New Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) service
An important technical update, launching a new, improved SFTP service. This new service provides greater availability and an improved onboarding experience.
A customer migration project commences with this release to migrate all existing customer SFTP services to the new service. There is no action needed; your Customer Success Manager will be in touch with you, and will give you plenty of time to prepare for the migration.
