Neither change is flashy, but both remove annoying reporting compromises. https://livesey.io/posts/flow-friendly-apex-actions-summer-26/ urn:uuid:6b38af32-7191-5aa9-b738-9e02cb7f9ec8 Fri, 22 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Summer '26 makes Apex actions easier to configure in Flow Builder. The real opportunity is bigger than nicer inputs: design invocable Apex actions that admins can use safely without memorising your code. https://livesey.io/posts/custom-lwc-widgets-lightning-dashboards/ urn:uuid:3c163541-7d3f-523a-92c4-c780c7def147 Tue, 19 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Summer '26 makes custom Lightning Web Components available directly inside Lightning dashboards. That turns normal dashboards from report-only surfaces into places for custom visuals, guided context, and small actions. https://livesey.io/posts/apex-multiline-strings-string-template/ urn:uuid:12c698b8-878b-5aba-bc05-7166187eaa64 Sat, 16 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Summer '26 gives Apex readable multiline strings and String.template() interpolation. That is great for JSON payloads, emails, tests, and generated text, but it should not become a dynamic-SOQL injection shortcut. https://livesey.io/posts/state-managers-lwc-raw-components/ urn:uuid:15405174-eb64-50cd-9c5d-9d4de75fe3ff Wed, 13 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Summer '26 makes LWC state managers one of the most interesting developer changes in the release. Use them to centralise data logic, but keep your raw UI components reusable with plain properties and events. https://livesey.io/posts/release-manager-dev-channel-safe-workflow/ urn:uuid:0fc45750-b25f-57b2-a9df-c36d42f03de9 Sun, 10 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Summer '26 puts preview features behind Salesforce Release Manager's Dev channel. That is useful, but only if teams isolate experiments, keep production delivery clean, and define when a preview should graduate or be killed. https://livesey.io/posts/live-preview-lwc-dev-loop-summer-26/ urn:uuid:4e40cc02-e07e-5e43-8c57-a2ae5662226c Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Summer '26 makes Single Component Live Preview and the Live Preview VS Code extension generally available for LWC. The useful bit is not the rename from Local Dev; it is the faster edit, preview, and fix loop. https://livesey.io/posts/virtualized-lwc-lists-100000-alarms/ urn:uuid:a7b7ffb8-64cb-55eb-883f-8801f8045667 Mon, 04 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Summer '26 dynamic list components are only Developer Preview, but they point to the right pattern for huge LWC lists: render the viewport, page the data, and never dump 100,000 rows into the DOM. https://livesey.io/posts/elastic-async-limits-queueable-future/ urn:uuid:948816ef-cf4d-5e33-8bf7-a73065b72ed1 Fri, 01 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Summer '26 adds elastic async limits for Queueable and future jobs. The useful bit is not just more headroom, but the ability to shed low-priority work before you hit the wall. https://livesey.io/posts/visualforce-pdf-rendering-service-blob-topdf/ urn:uuid:e0940776-f2b8-58bd-a6dc-78d5e4c82e7a Tue, 28 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT Blob.toPdf() keeps the same Apex API, but Summer '26 moves rendering to the Visualforce PDF service, which can change fonts, wrapping, page breaks, and multibyte output. https://livesey.io/posts/with-security-enforced-to-user-mode-migration/ urn:uuid:ac350547-687a-5a93-9927-11649e53f771 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT A practical migration guide for replacing WITH SECURITY_ENFORCED with WITH USER_MODE before moving Apex classes to API 67.0. https://livesey.io/posts/secure-by-default-apex-summer-26/ urn:uuid:6f5b56a1-6292-5475-a037-d4d8243dcfb0 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT Summer '26 changes Apex defaults in API 67.0: database operations move to user mode, classes default to sharing enforcement, WITH SECURITY_ENFORCED is removed, and triggers stay system mode.
