Features in Group and Professional Editions
The easiest way to determine which features and objects are available in a particular edition is by reviewing the Edition Comparison Table. You can also look up which editions support a specific feature or object by searching the online help. It’s important that you check these resources before you start designing your app to make an informed decision on which editions to target. When you’re finished building your app, we recommend that you test it by installing your package in GE and PE test orgs to ensure that everything functions properly.
Review the Edition Comparison Table.
