What is SFDC Explorer?

The FuseIT SFDC Explorer is a free Windows desktop tool for Salesforce developers and administrators. It provides advanced functionality for SOQL queries, schema exploration, Apex testing, debug log analysis, metadata management, and more through Salesforce's Partner, Tooling, and Metadata APIs.

Is SFDC Explorer really free?

Yes, completely free to download and use. Originally developed while building FuseIT's own products, it's now available to the entire Salesforce community. Making it free is a way to give back to the Salesforce community. We only ask that you give us a little information about what features you most require to help with our product development roadmap for the tool.

What do I need to get started with SFDC Explorer?

Windows OS, a Salesforce org with API access, and user credentials with appropriate permissions. The tool supports production, sandbox, and developer edition orgs, plus MFA. It supports OAuth authentication with Salesforce as well as natively works with any Salesforce orgs you've connected to using the Salesforce CLI.

How do I run and save Salesforce queries?

Type queries directly into the query editor or drag and drop entities from the Database Schema. Execute with the Query button, save queries for reuse, and export results to CSV, JSON, or clipboard.

What is the Explain Query Plan feature?

It shows how Salesforce will execute your SOQL query, including which indexes are used and estimated cost. It is invaluable for optimizing query performance.

How can I compare differences between two different Salesforce orgs?

The diff org functionality allows users to compare schema elements between the current Salesforce org (the Source org) and a second Target org. After the two orgs have been chosen the metadata is retrieved from both orgs and placed into the nominated folders where they can be compared.
