Get the Latest Media Manager Version: How to Upgrade?
Table of Contents
If you're using an older version of Media Manager, you might be missing valuable enhancements like expanded file format support (including HEIC), smarter previews, faster file browsing, grouping options, custom folder creation, file trees, new editing tools, and overall UI improvements. The good news is that upgrading through the Salesforce AppExchange is quick, safe, and fully backward compatible.
Here’s a straightforward guide to help you move to the latest version.
Why Upgrade Media Manager?
Upgrading gives you access to new features, better previews, faster performance, and updated compatibility with Salesforce seasonal releases. You also receive security, stability, and UI improvements that enhance daily file management for admins and end users.
Optional Pre-Upgrade Tips
- Notify users that improvements will be visible after the update.
- Test in Sandbox if you have heavy customizations or integrations.
- Review release notes for new capabilities you may want to enable.
How to Upgrade Media Manager from AppExchange
Salesforce automatically detects that Media Manager is already installed and upgrades it without impacting your existing setup.
- Open the Media Manager AppExchange Listing: Log in to the AppExchange using the Salesforce org where Media Manager is currently installed.
- Click “Get It Now”: Select Production or “Try It” for Sandbox, depending on where you want to install. Sandbox testing is optional but recommended for enterprise-scale orgs.
- Review Package Information: You’ll see your current version, the new version available, and high-level upgrade notes. Click Continue to proceed.
- Choose the Security Access Level: Pick the access option you prefer — Admins Only, All Users, or Specific Profiles — and continue.
- Install / Upgrade the Package: Click Install or Upgrade. Salesforce handles the full upgrade safely:s
- Your existing files, previews, folders, groupings, and permissions remain unchanged
- All admin configurations are preserved
- New features and improvements become available instantly
- The process usually takes under two minutes.
- Validate the Upgrade: After installation, Open Media Manager in your org:
- Check views like list, tile, and slider
- Confirm previews load correctly
- Review any new admin configuration options
- Check groupings, folders, and file actions
You’re now upgraded and ready to use the latest features.
Will Anything Change for Current Users?
Your existing files, folders, previews, permissions, and customizations remain exactly as they are — nothing breaks or resets during the upgrade.
However, not all new features are enabled automatically for end users. Some enhancements require admin-level configuration updates before they appear in the Media Manager UI. After upgrading, we recommend reviewing the new configuration options and enabling the features you want your users to access.
Final Thoughts
Upgrading Media Manager ensures your teams can take advantage of the latest file previews, faster navigation, better organization, and new admin-level enhancements. It’s a fast, safe update that improves day-to-day file operations inside Salesforce.
