• Block Unauthorized Access to Orders
  The Order Preferences Storefront Order Access Allowlist, released in 24.5 in test mode, is fully functional and available to your storefront in Production. When enabled, storefront access to orders without a matching customer ID is now blocked unless the accessing controller is included on the Allowlist. If you aren’t yet limiting Storefront Order Access at all, enable the Allowlist feature on the Limit Storefront Order Access setting.
• Optimize Web Performance with Streamlined HTML
  Enhance your site’s SEO and user experience by compacting HTML lines, especially at the beginning of documents. This update is an automated feature added to maintain high performance and search visibility. It requires no user action. The change addresses the discontinuation of Cloudflare’s automatic compacting.
• Optimize Sandbox Resources Dynamically
  Enhance your development environment by dynamically adjusting sandbox resource profiles. To manage performance and costs effectively, switch between medium, large, and xlarge profiles as needed. Automatic restarts and status checks ensure seamless transitions.
• Experience a More Efficient Workflow with the Control Center Lightning UI
  The updated Control Center UI now aligns with Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) standards. This update enhances the user experience with a more consistent design. Users can still access the same workflows while enjoying a refreshed interface. The new Lightning UI is the Control Center default option and is widely used by the majority of customers. Except for the audit logs, this update removes all links to the Classic UI.
• Make Product and Price Book Updates with Granular Replication
  Use the granular replication feature to select specific products and price table entries for replication from staging to production. This feature allows for targeted updates, ensuring your production data remains current without full-scale overhauls.
• Optimize On-Demand Sandbox Resource Management with the Usage Dashboard
  Take control of your on-demand sandbox (ODS) resource consumption with the Control Center Usage Dashboard now available for ODS administrators. This feature offers a comprehensive graphical overview of sandbox usage and credit spending over selectable time frames–daily, weekly, or monthly. Use the dashboard to make informed decisions about resource distribution and budget forecasts.
• Track Your On-Demand Sandbox Account Credit Balance in Real Time
  Monitor your organization’s on-demand sandbox (ODS) Account Credit Balance effectively with the new monthly credit consumption reports in the Control Center. Accessible to users with OpcRealmAccess privileges, this feature allows viewing of real-time credit balances at both the organizational and realm levels, facilitating better budget and resource decisions.
• Stay Informed with Real-Time On-Demand Sandbox Notifications
  The on-demand sandbox (ODS) Notifications feature now offers real-time alerts for any activity within your sandboxes, directly within the Control Center. This enhancement aids ODS administrators in maintaining vigilant security and comprehensive activity tracking, crucial for audit and compliance purposes.
• Update On-Demand Sandbox Email with Ease
  Simplify your on-demand sandbox (ODS) configuration with enhanced email management capabilities. Users with instance or realm-level access can now easily add or modify email addresses during sandbox creation or within the email settings, ensuring smoother setup and management of communication channels.
