# Context Service

Manage large context definitions with more ease by using the enhanced context definition mapping user interface with inline search and improved sort and filter abilities. Map extended context definitions to custom data spaces that contain preprocessed, harmonized, and unified data from multiple sources. Context Service now supports Second-Generation Managed Packaging (2GP). You can now package and deploy deactivated context definitions.

- **[Enhanced Context Definition Mapping User Interface](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_ctx_context_definition_mapping_ui_enhancement.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Streamline your context definition mapping experience with a redesigned user interface allowing for more efficient management of large context definitions. Speed up your configuration process by managing Input and sObject mappings from a single interface. Map attributes and fields faster with inline search, and enhanced sort and filter capabilities.
- **[Select Data Space for a Context Mapping](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_ctx_select_data_space_action.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Use the power of Data 360 for your extended context definition by changing a mapping to a custom data space. Reduce the possibilities of mapping errors by selecting a data space that contains preprocessed, harmonized, and unified data from multiple sources for all data model objects (DMOs).
- **[Context Definition Packaging and Migration Enhancements](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_ctx_2gp_support.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Package and deploy deactivated context definitions. Context definitions also now support Second-Generation Managed Packaging (2GP).
- **[Preserve Customizations and Inheritance When Cloning Context Definitions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_ctx_preserve_inheritance.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    When you clone an extended context definition, you can now maintain its inheritance from the parent standard definition. This enhancement ensures that your cloned definitions, including all custom nodes, attributes, and mappings, remain eligible for upgrades in future releases. Previously, cloning an extended definition broke the link to the standard source, requiring manual rework to apply upgrades.
