Find Your Salesforce Edition and API Version
These are technical notes I compiled while studying using Trailhead, Salesforce's free self-learning portal.
To Find Your Salesforce Edition and API Version
Summarized from information located here
Find Your Edition
- Setup > Quick Find > “Company” > Company Information
- Reference the “Organization Edition” field. Possible editions:
- Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, Developer
- Descriptions of the editions available here
- Reference the “Organization Edition” field. Possible editions:
Find Your API Version
- Setup > Quick Find > “Apex” > “Apex Classes” > Apex Classes
- Then, click “New” button
- Then, click over to “Version Settings” tab
- Reference the “Version” drop down for the API Version number, for example 54.
- Different versions correspond to different seasons and years:
- API Version 49.0 = Summer ‘20
- API Version 48.0 = Spring ‘20
- API Version 47.0 = Winter ‘20
- API Version 46.0 = Summer ‘19
- API Version 45.0 = Spring ‘19
- API Version 44.0 = Winter ‘19
- API Version 43.0 = Summer ‘18
- To find your API Version (Ex: 54) and how to match it to your “release” (Ex: “Spring ‘22’"), you can find lists online. But in general:
- Three major releases (API numbers) per year, that correspond to three seasons, (Winter, Spring, then Summer)
- Winter ‘22 -> API Version 53
- StackExchange has a partially complete list of past Salesforce Release Notes
