Timeframe for the Critical Update
Originally, the 'Turn on Lightning Experience' critical update was scheduled to auto-activate on a rolling basis in the Winter '20 release. However, as part of our release process, where we conduct rigorous testing across multiple checkpoints to ensure ongoing quality, we discovered a potential technical issue.
Changes from the Critical Update
Users must have the Lightning Experience User permission to use the new Salesforce interface. In most cases, only some of your users will get access to Lightning Experience because most users probably don’t have the permission yet.
Prepare for the Critical Update
To get your org and users ready for Lightning Experience, there are a handful of strategic activities that we recommend.
Considerations When Lightning Experience is Turned On
Lightning Experience is where you want to be! It’s where all new Salesforce innovation is happening, including reimagined classic functionality and exclusive features that improve efficiency and productivity for everyone. Get the full value of Salesforce by developing a rollout plan and moving your users to Lightning Experience as soon as you can.

Usage Considerations
- lightning-checkbox-group is useful for grouping a set of checkboxes. If you have a single checkbox, use lightning-input type="checkbox"instead.
Accessibility
- The checkbox group is nested in a fieldset element that contains a legend element. The legend contains the label value. The fieldset element enables grouping of related checkboxes to facilitate tabbing navigation and speech navigation for accessibility purposes. Similarly, the legend element improves accessibility by enabling a caption to be assigned to the fieldset.
Source Code
- lightning-checkbox-group is available in the Base Components Recipes GitHub repository. It's transpiled into the cnamespace so that you can use it in your own projects.
