Unified Knowledge Retirement Extended to June 2027

Publish Date: Apr 17, 2026
Description

We're extending the retirement date for Unified Knowledge from its previously scheduled date of June 2026 to June 2027 (Summer ’27 release). There will be no further extensions after this date. Since your organization currently uses Unified Knowledge, we want to make sure you're aware of this updated timeline and understand your options moving forward.

 

As a replacement, we recommend using this extra time to transition to Salesforce Enterprise Knowledge, powered by Data 360. With this new solution, you can modernize your knowledge experience and unify all your organizational data. You can seamlessly integrate native Salesforce knowledge with external knowledge ingested through Data 360 connectors to create a single, comprehensive knowledge base.

 

Why are we retiring Unified Knowledge?

Salesforce is focusing on Enterprise Knowledge, which is a more robust solution for connecting and activating organizational knowledge across Salesforce Customer 360 and Agentforce. We also want to lift some of the limitations in Unified Knowledge, such as file size handling capabilities. This led us to the decision to retire Unified Knowledge, while offering our users a native Data 360 solution.
