Salesforce files provide better capabilities for sharing and collaborating on files with other users, groups, or records and for managing version updates. It also supports file previews and unifies all the account files, documents, and attachments into a single system. This helps in easier management and collaboration of documents.
With the Lithium release of Q2 Origination, you can upload, manage and store the documents as Salesforce files, unlike attachments as before. This enables financial institutions to leverage the benefits of Salesforce files, such as supporting multiple file-formats and versioning each file. This enhancement is enabled in both existing and new accounts, and the existing attachments in the accounts are not altered and continue to display as attachments.
The following file formats are supported in Salesforce file types:
