    Pip Tip #43 – Permission sets

    Permission Sets

    Did you know that, in the Spring ‘26 release, Salesforce are retiring permission sets on profiles?

    Put simply, this means that permissions and access will no longer be granted via Profiles, but in Permission Sets instead.

    To manage this change, Salesforce Admins will need to analyse and adjust permissions & permission assignments for their orgs in time for the updates.

    Make sure to read up on the changes to help your team prepare ahead of new releases!

    Salesforce Lightning Grid System Chrome Extension

    The Salesforce Lightning Grid System is a powerful Chrome extension built to simplify the process of creating responsive grid layouts for Lightning Web Components (LWCs). Whether you’re developing with SLDS UI, Aura, or LWCs, this tool offers a streamlined solution to manage layouts efficiently across devices and screen sizes.

    Key Features:

    • Customisable Grid Layouts: Add as many rows and columns as needed, with full flexibility to define different column sizes for each row.
    • Device-Specific Adjustments: Adjust column sizes specifically for mobile, tablet, and desktop, ensuring your layout is optimised for any screen size.
    • Real-Time Layout Preview: Use the “Run” button to preview the layout on different screen sizes or device types, allowing for easier responsive design.
    • Export Ready-to-Use HTML Code: Once your layout is complete, simply press the “Result” button to generate HTML code that’s compatible with SLDS UI, Aura, or LWC.

    This code can be directly copied and integrated into your project, saving time and ensuring consistency with Salesforce’s design standards.

    Action Buttons in Screenflow

    The new Action Buttons feature in Screen Flows introduces a major leap forward in building responsive, single-page applications within Salesforce. By enabling users to trigger actions and process logic without leaving the current screen, this feature helps you streamline workflows and dramatically improve the user experience.

    Here’s what you can now do– all on one screen:

    • Retrieve data dynamically (e.g. view related contacts after selecting an account)
    • Run logic instantly (e.g. check inventory or calculate pricing based on selections)
    • Update UI elements in real-time without navigating away or refreshing

    This means faster interactions, fewer clicks, and a more seamless experience for users, whether you’re building internal tools for your team or customer-facing flows.

    Implementation is simple: just drag an Action Button onto your flow screen, define what it does, and connect it to your data or logic. No Apex required.
