Enable Enhanced Domains

To update your Salesforce org’s URLs to the latest standards, enable enhanced domains on your My Domain. With enhanced domains, all URLs across your org contain your company-specific My Domain name, including Experience Cloud sites and Salesforce sites. Your URLs also remain stabilized when your org is moved to another Salesforce instance.
Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience
Available in: Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions

User Permissions Needed
To edit My Domain settings: Customize Application
We recommend enhanced domains for all Salesforce orgs. They are required in Summer ’22.

Enhanced domains are available in Hyperforce orgs and in orgs with a deployed My Domain routed through Salesforce Edge Network. They aren’t available in Developer Edition or in scratch orgs. For more information on the availability of this feature, join the discussion on the My Domain and Enhanced Domains group in the Trailblazer Community.

Note

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter My Domain, and then select My Domain.
  2. Under My Domain Details, select Edit.
  3. If more suffixes are available for your org’s My Domain, a suffix dropdown list appears. Enhanced domains can only be enabled for the Standard (my.salesforce.com) suffix.
  4. Select Use enhanced domains.

    Enhanced domains change URLs formats across your org. For more information, see My Domain URL Formats. Before deploying your updated My Domain, include the additional URL changes in your testing.

    Important

  5. Save your changes.
  6. Salesforce provisions your My Domain.

The provisioning process usually finishes in a few minutes, but it can take up to 24 hours. You receive an email when your My Domain with enhanced domains is ready to be deployed and tested.
