To test new Nonprofit Cloud features coming out in the upcoming Salesforce release, follow these steps:

Identify the Sandbox Preview Period:

Salesforce announces preview periods before major releases. Check the Salesforce release calendar for the dates.

Refresh a Preview Instance Sandbox:

During the sandbox preview period, refresh one of your sandboxes. Ensure that you refresh an existing sandbox that is on a preview instance, or create a new sandbox if needed.

Verify the Sandbox Instance:

Make sure your sandbox is on a preview instance. Salesforce typically migrates sandboxes to preview instances for testing new features.

Test New Features:

Once the sandbox is refreshed, you can start testing the new Nonprofit Cloud features that will be included in the upcoming release.

Use the Release Notes and documentation provided by Salesforce to guide your testing.

This process allows you to evaluate new features before they are available in your production environment, ensuring a smooth transition and allowing time to address any potential issues.
