What does All Sites represent in the Salesforce Platform?

All Sites is a platform feature that provides building blocks for extending and customizing Salesforce to meet specific business needs.

How does Salesforce's multi-tenant model affect All Sites?

In Salesforce's multi-tenant environment, features like All Sites share infrastructure across orgs — which is why best practices and limits are important.

What architecture concept is All Sites an example of?

Salesforce uses a metadata-driven, multi-tenant architecture — and All Sites is a great example of how configuration (metadata) drives functionality.

All Sites

Platform🔴 Advanced

Definition

All Sites is a Setup page that displays a consolidated list of every Salesforce site in the org, including Experience Cloud sites, Salesforce Sites, and Site.com pages. It provides administrators with a single view to manage site URLs, activation status, and configuration details for all web properties hosted on the Salesforce platform.

Real-World Example

The admin at GreenLeaf Organics navigates to All Sites in Setup to review the three sites running in their org: a customer self-service portal, a partner deal registration site, and a public knowledge base. From this page, she can quickly see which sites are active, check their URLs, and click through to each site's detailed configuration.

Why All Sites Matters

All Sites is part of the Salesforce platform layer, which provides the foundation upon which both standard and custom applications are built. The platform handles everything from data storage and user authentication to API access and deployment management, making it the backbone of every Salesforce implementation.

Understanding All Sites is essential for anyone who builds on Salesforce, whether they are an admin, developer, or architect. The platform's metadata-driven architecture means that configuration changes—rather than code changes—drive most of the customization, and this feature is a key part of that model.

How Organizations Use All Sites

•Oceanic Corp — Used All Sites to extend their Salesforce org beyond traditional CRM. They built project management capabilities directly on the platform, eliminating the need for a separate tool and giving their team a single interface for customer data and project delivery.
•Vandelay Industries — Applied All Sites to create a partner portal where external distributors can log in, view their accounts, submit orders, and track shipments—all powered by Salesforce without any custom infrastructure.
