# Work with the Data Mask and Seed’s (Beta) Redesigned User Interface

Configure data masking tasks more easily with a redesigned, intuitive interface. The updated experience provides well-organized displays and clear messaging to simplify navigation and the configuration process for admins and developers.

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience in all editions.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-salesforce_release_notes-260-0-0-production-enus/ba62a63b-6cd1-440e-8d24-e867afab0363/images/icon_note.png)

Note Data Mask and Seed is a pilot or beta service that is subject to the Beta Services Terms at [Agreements - Salesforce.com](https://www.salesforce.com/company/legal/agreements/) or a written Unified Pilot Agreement if executed by Customer, and applicable terms in the [Product Terms Directory](https://ptd.salesforce.com/). Use of this pilot or beta service is at the Customer's sole discretion.

**When:** The new Data Mask and Seed (beta) is available for commercial customers based in the AMER region beginning on April 9, 2026. During the beta period, a single Salesforce region serves all users. When the tool becomes Generally Available, Salesforce automatically redirects users to their closest Salesforce region.

Note Because of the region redirect, masking job history from the new Data Mask and Seed’s beta period isn’t available after the tool becomes Generally Available. If you decide to retain your masking job history from the beta period, document your job results before the general availability release.

**Who:** The new Data Mask and Seed (beta) is available to AMER region commercial customers, but not Government Cloud customers.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-salesforce_release_notes-260-0-0-production-enus/ba62a63b-6cd1-440e-8d24-e867afab0363/images/icon_note.png)

Note When the new Data Mask and Seed becomes Generally Available, it will also be available to Government Cloud customers.

**How:** During the beta period, the new Data Mask and Seed doesn’t automatically bypass workflows, triggers, or validation rules. Therefore, before running a masking job, manually turn off any necessary Salesforce automations and then re-enable them after job completion. The new Data Mask and Seed (beta) is available as a native, Salesforce app that requires no installation. In the App Launcher, search for and select **Data Mask and Seed (Beta)**.
