Usually you can tell what release (e.g. Winter '14) you are running under by looking at the logo in the top left, but if that has been customized or removed it's not an option. Is there some place in the setup or settings that let's you know what release you are running?

On the Home tab, on the top right of the screen is a link to Discover Winter '14. This indicates your release.

Or if you like to see it in xml, goto /services/data/ on your instance.

https://[instance].salesforce.com/services/data/

works with a lightning url too. https://[domain].lightning.force.com/services/data

You can see in more detail what release and patch level your instance is on in the Releases section of the known issues page.

For example this page, which lists fixes for Summer 14, https://success.salesforce.com/issues_releases_view?release=190000000, also shows the patch level of each instance - at the time of writing "Spring '14 Patch 20.2". This can be useful if you see discrepancies in behaviour between orgs on different instances.

The /speedtest.jsp page that is available in each instance includes a Release section that includes the current patch release. This can be useful if you don't immediately know which pod your instance is currently running on.

enter image description here

In 2016 Trust was updated to include a REST API - See What's New in Trust.

Of particular interest is the new REST API.

With that we can do a single unauthenticated GET call and parse the exact releaseVersion from the JSON response.

E.g.

https://api.status.salesforce.com/v1/instances/na5/status

Extract from the JSON response showing Winter '17 Patch 13.5

{
  "key": "NA5",
  "location": "NA",
  "environment": "production",
  "releaseVersion": "Winter '17 Patch 13.5",
  "status": "OK",
  //...
}

You can also use https://api.status.salesforce.com/v1/instances/status/preview to see the releaseVersion of all the public pods.

  • The speedtest page would be ideal except that it apparently doesn't report the release for partial sandboxes. – isherwood Apr 08 '21 at 14:34

You could go to setup Build | Develop | Apex Classes and click "new".

This will let you see what the options for API version are, API 29 = Winter 14.

I'm sure there's a nicer way to do it though!

In lightning experience, the option to view the current release (from the UI) is at the top right corner of the screen, help and training (question mark icon): enter image description here

However, as of recent releases, this is no longer included, and you have to sleect the release notes in order to easily view what version you are supposed to be on. enter image description here

Loading screens will also give you a hint as to what version you are on: enter image description here

  • Unfortunately that doesn't show what patch version my sandbox is running. – isherwood Apr 08 '21 at 14:37
  • Salesofrce changed/removed it from the menu options. Other than the loading screen, you will have to refer to other answers, – glls Apr 08 '21 at 14:54

Option 1: 1.Login Your Org --> SetUp --> Company Information -->Instance --> Take the value of this 2.Open the link --> trust.salesforce.com --> status.salesforce.com --> status button click --> search with above instance --> After it finds the instance result --> click on the link --> Right side it show the Instance Details.

**Option 2 :**Simple, Refresh the screen it shows the logo and image of release version, Sometimes it will be very fast cant see the details.
