Admin Updates

A new Radio Button Group screen component displays selection options as large horizontal boxes instead of a dropdown, giving users a cleaner and more visible single-select experience.

The Automation App's Flow list views now show an error rate percentage per flow element, letting you identify which elements are failing most often without digging into debug logs.

Organizations running SLDS 2 themes can now enable Dark Mode through a staged rollout, extending the dark UI experience to the updated Lightning Design System.

A new toggle in Setup's User Interface settings lets users with the right permission edit shared list views directly—no more routing every list view change through an admin.
