Have you already checked the Salesforce Summer’19 Release Notes? We scanned the 200+page of the release notes and summed up the most exciting features. Related lists, notifications from reports about significant changes, enhanced letterheads and ability to insert images into email templates and much more!
You can expect these changes to be in your system by June. You’ll know you have it, when you see the Einstein riding a bicycle, replaced with the bear riding the wave on a surfboard.
So what can you expect?
Salesforce Related Lists
Enhanced Related Lists
Take your related lists to the next level. With Enhanced Related Lists, you can show up to 10 columns, resize and sort your columns, perform mass actions, and wrap text.
Example: If I am on an Account record, and I see a related list of Leases, I may want to only up to 10 fields from the Lease record, be able to resize columns as needed.
Use Quick Filters in your Related Lists
Use quick filters in your related lists to find the data that you’re looking for. Related list quick filters are different from regular list view filters in that they aren’t saved, persist only throughout your current session, and can’t be shared.
Example: If I am on an Account record, and I see a related list of Deals, I may want to only filter it to show Open Deals
How: Open a related list, and select 
to add quick filters.
If you want to be able to create related lists that you can save and share with others, you can use Ascendix Search app.
