## Looking Back, Looking Ahead

As we say good-bye to 2025 and welcome 2026, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past year and most importantly, to thank you for using our apps and services.

Throughout the year our teams have been focused on delivering product updates with new features, enhanced functionality, and improved user experience. 

The result is releases like the new Milestones PM+ Agentforce Extension that's designed to enhance productivity. Users can quickly get information about different features or ask questions about release versions. Another great enhancement is Data Quality Helper’s new Data Cleanup Rule feature, which allows users to create settings to manage data storage and deletion *inside *of Salesforce. We also launched our latest productivity app, [Work Trail](https://www.passagetechnology.com/work-trail-overview) in the fall. 

Ultimately our goal is to make managing Salesforce® data and projects easier for you and your teams. Following are more highlights of our product releases and updates for [Rollup Helper](https://www.passagetechnology.com/rollup-helper-overview), [Milestones PM+](https://www.passagetechnology.com/milestones-pm-plus-overview), [Data Quality Helper](https://www.passagetechnology.com/data-quality-helper-overview), and [Lookup Helper](https://www.passagetechnology.com/lookup-helper-overview).
