- **[Automate Referral Tracking with B2B Referral Flows](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_pc_automateb2bref.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Use the B2B Referral Lead Flow and B2B Referral Opportunity Flow to create referral entities automatically. The flows manage the referral lifecycle, from lead creation and qualification to opportunity closure and reward issuance. When a partner submits a lead, the Lead flow creates referral records and manages status updates as the lead moves from new to qualified. When an opportunity is won, the Opportunity flow updates the referral records and issues the appropriate rewards.
- **[Create and Track Joint Business Plans with Your Partners](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_pc_jbp.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    A joint business plan, now generally available, helps channel managers and partner reps align on shared goals, KPIs, and actions for a defined planning period. Capture strategic priorities, build measurable objectives, define action plans, and collaborate with partners. This release adds a dedicated joint account plan record type, enhanced objective measure support, Partner Central access, and purpose-built templates for partner planning.
- **[Include Referral Codes in Deal Registrations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_pc_refcodedealreg.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Support tracking and reward attribution by giving partners referral codes to submit when they register a deal. The referral code field is captured on both Lead and Opportunity records for visibility across the sales process.
- **[Monitor Partner Success Agent Performance with Agent Analytics](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_psa_agentanalytics.htm&release=260&type=5)**
