Find Your API Version

Method 1 (for Production orgs)

Summarized from information located here.

  • Setup > Quick Find > “Company” > Company Information
    • Reference the “Instance” field. For example: NA211
    • Add the value of that field at the end of the URL: https://status.salesforce.com/instances/<YourInstanceHere>
      • For example: https://status.salesforce.com/instances/na211/
      • The top right will have the version the instance is currently running. See example below.

Method 2 (for orgs you can create Apex classes in directly, like Sandbox orgs)

  • 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
