Salesforce Certification Release Cycle 2022? You might have been
thinking what are these Salesforce-release notes if you are a newbie to
Salesforce. Yes, it’s true. The term Salesforce-Release notes is a keyword for
the people who are actively working/using on Salesforce. I guess most of the
people who are reading this article might have an idea about release notes.
Generally, if we are working on a project/product, we maintain key-notes of the
product features before go-live. These release notes help stakeholders to know
about this product features, pros, and cons.
Now, you might have been thinking why this guy is talking too much about
release notes. I like Salesforce very much! The reason is their consistency to
provide more and more features to their customers without impacting business,
and Salesforce has three major releases per year, and in each release or
version, they offer many new features/updates for existing features.

Maintaining Certifications in Salesforce Certification Release
Cycle 2022
You must complete Trailhead maintenance modules relevant to your
Salesforce certification(s) in order to keep your certification(s) current.
Every year, one maintenance module must be completed for all certifications.
You may check your certification status on your “Trailblazer.me” profile once
the release modules are available, and you will get an email with all the
information you need to perform your maintenance.
Further, while these email reminders are useful, you should not rely
only on them; it is your obligation to complete your maintenance modules before
the given date. If you don’t finish your maintenance module(s) by the deadline,
all certifications associated with that module will expire or, in certain
situations, be suspended.
Note for Salesforce Certification Release Cycle in 2022
You must still perform entry-level maintenance to maintain all of your
certifications if you gain a new higher-level or advanced certification (e.g.,
Certified Administrator is entry-level and maintains the Certified Advanced
Administrator certification).
The following is a list of Salesforce certifications sorted by role, as
well as the Trailhead maintenance courses necessary to keep them up
to date, and when those modules will be released.
