When building file-upload functionality in Salesforce Communities (Experience Cloud), many developers run into a confusing issue: Partner Community Users cannot upload files using lightning-file-upload , even when they have access to the parent object — such as a Case. This often leads to the common question: “Do Partner Users actually have access to ContentVersion, ContentDocument, and ContentDocumentLink?” Let’s break down the full explanation. Partner Community Users do not have direct access to the objects: ContentVersion ContentDocument ContentDocumentLink These objects are hidden in the profile/permission set UI, meaning you cannot grant CRUD access directly. However… Partner Users can upload files as long as: They have access to the parent record (e.g., Case) The community sharing model allows file visibility The Salesforce system handles ContentDocument & related objects implicitly But certain org settings or sharing restrictions can still...

  Salesforce introduced one of its most powerful and developer-friendly features in Winter ’23 : the FIELDS() function in SOQL . This feature completely changes how we write queries—especially for debugging, API testing, dynamic data exploration, and admin/developer productivity. Before this feature, retrieving “all fields” from an object required: manually listing every field generating describe calls writing dynamic SOQL using tool-generated queries (Workbench, VS Code, etc.) Now, with FIELDS() , you can retrieve standard fields, custom fields, or ALL fields in one line. Click here to watch video on how it works What is the FIELDS() Function? FIELDS() is a SOQL function that dynamically expands into the fields of an SObject at query runtime. It supports three modes : Mode Description FIELDS(STANDARD) Retrieves all standard fields of the object. FIELDS(CUSTOM) Retrieves only the custom fields (fields ending in __c). FIELDS(ALL) Retrieves both standard + custom field...

  Batch Apex is designed for handling large-scale operations that involve processing thousands or even millions of records—tasks that would normally exceed Salesforce’s standard execution limits. By dividing data into smaller sets, or batches , this approach allows processing to occur asynchronously, helping you stay within platform limits. If your use case involves actions like data cleanup, mass updates, or archiving, Batch Apex is often the most efficient choice. When writing tests for Batch Apex, only a single execution of the execute method can be directly tested. To manage system resources effectively and avoid governor limit issues, you can specify the scope parameter in the executeBatch method, which controls how many records are processed at a time. The executeBatch call runs asynchronously, meaning the process continues in the background after it starts. Therefore, during testing, it’s essential to ensure that the batch process completes before verifying the results....

Imagine this: your sales rep calls a promising lead, only to find out another teammate called the same person yesterday. Meanwhile, your marketing team accidentally sends two identical emails to the same contact, and customer support can’t see a full history because information is scattered across multiple records. The culprit? Duplicate records in Salesforce. They may seem harmless at first, but duplicates quietly drain time, distort reports, frustrate customers, and create unnecessary chaos. The good news is that Salesforce offers several tools—and a few extra tricks—to stop duplicates before they become a bigger headache. Let’s break it down. The Hidden Cost of Duplicate Data When Salesforce data isn’t clean, here’s what happens: Fragmented Customer View – Agents miss key emails, calls, or cases because details are spread across multiple records. False Insights – Reports look inflated, with duplicated opportunities or campaign responses. Wasted Resources – Market...
