Salesforce Classic Setup Assistant Retirement

What changed?

Salesforce retired the Setup Assistant for Salesforce Classic, a wizard which helps system administrators complete basic configuration and import data, on August 18, 2016.

Instead of using the Salesforce Classic Setup Assistant, you can access all the configurations within the Salesforce Classic Setup Assistant directly from Salesforce Setup.  

What happened after the End of Life date?
 

• Orgs enabled with Lightning Experience that switches to Salesforce Classic will not be able to access the Salesforce Classic Setup Assistant.
• Orgs with access to and are using the Salesforce Classic Setup Assistant will no longer have access to this feature. The Setup Assistant will be removed from the Salesforce Setup section.

NOTE: Any actions (adding users, setting up sales stages, or importing data) made via the Setup Assistant (Lightning Experience or Salesforce Classic version) before the Salesforce Classic Setup Assistant retirement will not be impacted by this change. You will need to make further updates through the Salesforce setup menu after the Salesforce Classic Setup Assistant retirement date.

What action did I need to take? 

Use the regular Salesforce Setup menu to set up your Salesforce environment. Use the reference table to locate where to complete basic org setup actions within the Salesforce Setup:

Additionally, customers can leverage the following resources to help get started with the setup of their Salesforce environment:
 

• Getting Started with Salesforce CRM resources
• Tip Sheets and Implementation Guides
• Getting Started Implementation Guide
• Participate in the Success Getting Started Community Group

Why have we retired this product or feature?
