Introduction

This help article is designed to provide resources to complete the superbadge challenges. It also offers links to useful articles and details various troubleshooting techniques.

     

    About Superbadges

    Superbadges assess your understanding and ability to apply key concepts, tools, and methodologies across Salesforce roles in a hands-on practice environment. These technical assessments help bridge the gap between what you’ve learned and how you can apply those skills in real-world scenarios. Completing a superbadge shows your ability to work on Salesforce implementations, demonstrates your expertise, and can even help with certification preparation.

     

    How is a superbadge different compared to modules and projects on Trailhead?

    Modules introduce you to specific topics in bite-sized units and projects give you hands-on practice with Salesforce technologies via step-by-step instructions. Superbadges present the requirements in a narrative format with multiple hands-on challenges. Trailblazers need to complete the requirements by configuring a technical solution in a special Salesforce Developer Edition org. Superbadges are designed to test your Salesforce skills and abilities.

    Accessibility considerations for this superbadge

    The checkboxes for some security requirements may not be correctly labeled in certain interfaces. When toggling checkboxes for the security requirements:
    • Use the CONTROL F find command to search for relevant text on the page rather that relying on quick navigation to read the names of the checkboxes.
    • Review the text surrounding the checkbox to ensure you're toggling the desired control.

    Salesforce is committed to providing on-demand enterprise applications accessible to all individuals, including users working with assistive devices, such as speech recognition software and screen readers. Check out our Accessibility Standards Help article for more information.

    Need more help? The Trailblazer Community awaits!

    You may remember when superbadge collaboration wasn't allowed, and we're grateful for everyone's commitment to independent work when that policy was in place. These days, however, you're welcome to reach out to the community when you're stuck, and you're encouraged to answer others' questions to help unblock your fellow Trailblazers. So go ahead and ask for help, but don't forget that a superbadge is an assessment, and you'll get the most value out of it if you try to do as much as possible on your own. And as always, remember that superbadge orgs and full solutions should never be shared.
