Hello Trailblazers!
Salesforce delivers hundreds of innovative features three times a year during seasonal releases : Spring, Summer, and Winter. Every release brings you one step closer to a huge boost in productivity for users. In this blog post, we are going to take a sneak-peek at Spring '20 release new features. Let's get started.

1. Update Preview Automatically in Report

• When Update Preview Automatically toggle button is active, you can preview report updates at run time in Spring '20 release. If Update Preview Automatically toggle button is inactive and you want to see preview then click Refresh button to see the changes in preview.

2. Informative Mini-Icon for Input Field in Screen Component

• In Spring '20 release, many informative mini-icons are added for Input components such as Location icon for Address, Link icon for URL, Phone icon for Phone, Email icon and so on. Drag the flow Screen on to the canvas. You can see some inputs with icons. Have a look!!

3. Run the flow in context of the user or the system

1. User or System Context – Depends on How Flow is Launched
2. System Context with Sharing – Enforces Record-Level Access

• By default, how the flow is launched determines whether the flow runs in the context of the user or the system. 
• If you choose system context with sharing, the flow respects org-wide default settings, role hierarchies, sharing rules, manual sharing, teams, and territories.
• But it doesn’t respect object permissions, field-level access, or other permissions of the running user.

4. Edit Flow in Flow Builder From App Builder

• In Spring'20 release, you can now open flow in edit mode from App Builder. When you click on Edit Flow in Flow Builder link, it opens flow in edit mode where you can perform changes. Let's see with screenshot how it looks in Record Page.

5. Launch a flow when a record is created, updated or both

• Go to Autolaunched flow->click start button to edit

6. Deactivate Flow Without Leaving Flow Builder

7. Assign a task to Queue
