Salesforce Simplified v2.2.6

Salesforce Simplified v2.2.6 — Release Notes

Published: August 29, 2026 Extension: Salesforce Simplified on Chrome Web Store

What's in v2.2.6?

This release is about visibility — giving you more information at a glance, in the right place, without requiring extra clicks. We've added interactive right sidebars to two more pages, documented three powerful forensic tools that shipped recently, introduced contextual quick-action menus while data loads, and fixed layout issues that could push content off-screen.

⚡ Bulk API Job Status — Right Sidebar

The Bulk API Job Status page now has a dedicated right sidebar that lists every Ingest and Query job in your org.

What you get:

All jobs in one scrollable list — both Bulk API 2.0 ingest (loads) and query (extracts) combined chronologically, each with a kind tag (ingest / query) and a timestamp.
Color-coded status badges — COMPLETE in green, FAILED / ABORTED in red, and IN PROGRESS / OPEN in yellow. You can tell the state of any job before reading a single detail.
Filter pills with live counts — Quick-filter buttons show All (18), Complete (14), Failed (2), Active (2) with real-time totals that update as jobs change state.
Instant search — Type any SObject name (Account), operation (upsert), state (Failed), kind (ingest), or 15/18-character Job ID to narrow the list instantly.
1-click deep inspection — Click any job row and its full batch statistics — processed count, failed count, succeeded count, API version, timing, retries — load in the main content pane. The selected job highlights with an active indicator so you never lose your place.
Auto-select on load — When you open the page, the most recent job is automatically selected and its details are shown, so you're never staring at an empty pane.

Before v2.2.6:

You had a table of jobs in the main pane and had to click each row individually. No search. No filter. No sidebar.

After v2.2.6:

The sidebar gives you the full list with search and filters, and the main pane shows the selected job's complete details — the same split-view pattern used across the rest of the extension.

🔀 Org Sync & Jobs — Right Sidebar

The Org Sync & Jobs page now shows all deployment, validation, and migration jobs in a filterable right sidebar.

What you get:

Every job listed — Staged, succeeded, and failed jobs appear in the sidebar with color-coded status badges: green for success, red for failure, amber for staged/pending.
Filter pills — All, Success, Failed, Staged — each with live counts.
Live search — Search across job types, pipeline names, timestamps, and target org domains.
1-click inspection — Click any job to load its full details in the main content pane: component list, failure messages (with the org's own error text), deploy IDs, and timing.
Smooth scroll focus — When you select a job, the sidebar scrolls to highlight it, and the main pane scrolls to its detail tile.

Why it matters:

When you have 20+ deploy and migrate jobs across multiple pipelines, finding the one that failed last night shouldn't require scrolling through a flat list. The sidebar lets you filter to Failed, search for the target org, and click to see exactly what went wrong — all in under two seconds.

📜 Deep Audit Trails — Per-User Forensics

Deep Audit Trails fetches up to 2,000 records of creation and setup changes made by any user in your org.

Key capabilities:

User sidebar — A right sidebar lists every user in the org with search. Click any user to load their complete audit trail.
Category filter pills — Filter by Apex, Flows, Fields, Security, Users, and more. Each pill shows a live count of matching entries.
Action type filters — Narrow to creates, updates, deletes, or all actions.
Full export — Download the filtered results as JSON, CSV, or Excel with one click.
Cross-linked — A "🔥 View Heatmap →" button switches to the Activity Heatmap for the same user, preserving the selection.

Use case:

"Who created all those validation rules on the Account object last week?" — Open Deep Audit Trails, search for Validation, filter to Created, and you'll see every validation rule creation with the author, timestamp, and component name.

🔥 Activity Heatmap — GitHub-Style Contribution Matrix

A 52-week heatmap inspired by GitHub's contribution graph, built entirely from the org's setup audit trail.

What you see:

Day-by-day heatmap — Every day of the past year is a colored cell. The more setup changes a user made that day, the darker the cell. Hover to see the exact count and date.
4 metric cards:
- 🔥 Current Streak — How many consecutive days the user has been active
- 🏆 Longest Streak — Their all-time record of consecutive active days
- 📅 Busiest Day — The single day with the most changes, with the date
- 📊 Total Contributions — Sum of all setup changes in the 52-week window
User sidebar with search — Same sidebar as Deep Audit Trails. Click any user to load their heatmap instantly.
Cross-linked — A "📜 Open Deep Audit Trails →" button switches to the tabular log for the same user.

Use case:

"Is this admin actually using the sandbox, or just logging in?" — Open their Activity Heatmap. If the cells are empty, they're logging in but not making changes. If there's a burst of activity last Tuesday, click that cell to see exactly what they did.

🕵️ Incident Detective — Time Machine for Outages

When something breaks in production, the first question is always "what changed?". The Incident Detective answers it.

How it works:

Set an outage window using preset buttons:
- ⚡ Last 1h · 🕒 Last 2h · ⏱️ Last 6h · 📅 Today · ⏮️ Yesterday · 📆 Last 7 Days · 🌐 All In-Memory (2,000)
- Or use a custom date range scrubber for precise windows
See every org change that happened during that window — classified by severity:
- 🔴 Critical — Security policy changes, permission modifications, profile updates
- 🟡 Warning — Apex class modifications, flow activations, field changes
- 🔵 Info — Layout updates, label changes, report modifications
Category breakdown — See how many changes fell in each category (Apex, Fields, Security, Flows, etc.)
Timeline view — Every change with its exact timestamp, author, action, and affected component
Trace to author — Each entry shows who made the change, linking back to their full audit trail

Use case:

"The payment integration broke at 2:15 PM. What changed between 1:00 PM and 2:15 PM?" — Open Incident Detective, set a custom window from 13:00 to 14:15, and instantly see every org change in that 75-minute period. If someone modified a Permission Set that controls the integration's API access at 2:03 PM, you've found your root cause.

🎛️ System Apps Quick Menu — Contextual Shortcuts While Loading

While any metadata or data is loading — Apex classes, triggers, accounts, custom objects — a grid of system app shortcuts now appears in the loading area instead of a blank spinner.

How it works:

4 random shortcuts per page — Each time you load a metadata type, you see a different set of 4 quick-access tiles from across the extension's feature set.
Selection-aware tools — Package.xml and Watchlist tiles only appear when you have components selected. When they do appear, they're shown first alongside Deploy and Migrate.
Pinned priority order — When components are selected: Deploy → Migrate → Package.xml → Watchlist always appear first, followed by random system app tiles.
Zero extra clicks — The menu disappears once your data finishes loading, replaced by the actual content.

Why it matters:

Loading pauses are wasted screen real estate. Instead of watching a spinner, you can jump to another tool — or, if you have components selected, immediately deploy or migrate them without navigating back to the menu.

🌳 Standard & Custom Objects — Sidebar with Search

The Standard & Custom Objects page now lists every SObject in a searchable right sidebar.

All objects listed — Both standard (Account, Contact, Opportunity, etc.) and custom objects appear in a single scrollable list.
Live search — Type to filter by object name or API name instantly.
Pre-selected default — A random object is pre-selected when you open the page, so you immediately see a describe result instead of an empty pane.
Click to inspect — Click any object in the sidebar to load its full describe: attributes, fields, child relationships, record types, compact layouts, and more — each section expandable to its full detail.

📰 Feature Discovery Tips in News Footer

The news ticker in the footer now interleaves feature tips alongside regular headlines.

Featured tips rotate through:

"Try Deploy to send components to another org" → navigates to Org Sync & Jobs
"Try Migrate to move records between two orgs" → navigates to Org Sync & Jobs
"Try Deep Audit Trails to see everything a user changed" → navigates to Deep Audit Trails
"Try Incident Detective to trace breaking org changes" → navigates to Incident Detective
"Try Activity Heatmap to visualize work patterns" → navigates to Activity Heatmap

Why it matters:

These are among the most powerful features in the extension, but they're in the Settings section of the menu — not where most users look first. The footer tips surface them organically while the user is already working, and each tip is clickable to go directly to the feature.

🔧 Layout & Stability Fixes

Fixed: Table layout overflow pushing sidebar off-screen

Long Salesforce domain names in the Org Sync table could cause the inner table to expand beyond its bounds, pushing the right sidebar partially or fully off-screen. Fixed by:

Setting table-layout: fixed on the inner content table
Adding overflow: hidden; min-width: 0 on the main content cell
Enforcing box-sizing: border-box on the sidebar column
Adding text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden on sidebar item labels to prevent text blowout

Fixed: Sidebar width consistency

All right sidebar panels now strictly respect the configured width (default 260px) with min-width and max-width constraints, preventing any panel from stretching to 50-50 with the main content area.

Testing & Quality

125 / 125 test suites pass with 0 errors
New test suites added:
- bulk_jobs_sidebar.test.js — Validates directive registration, template mounting, filter logic, state counting, and sidebar-to-content selection
- sync_jobs_sidebar.test.js — Validates Org Sync sidebar filters, search, and job selection
- news_feature_tips.test.js — Validates feature discovery tip rotation and navigation targets
Full regression verified across all existing test suites
