Salesforce Anywhere
Salesforce Anywhere is a retired product name, not a live feature.
Definition
Salesforce Anywhere is a retired product name, not a live feature. It covered two things. Winter '21 rebranded Quip for Customer 360 as Salesforce Anywhere, and a separate app put chat and record alerts on CRM data.
Neither name survived. The document product went back to being called Quip, and Salesforce Help now titles its pages Quip (formerly Salesforce Anywhere). Salesforce Anywhere Advanced became Quip Advanced.
The successor is being wound down too. Salesforce closed Quip to new customers and set a last renewal date, so an old runbook naming Salesforce Anywhere points at two dead ends.
In plain English
“Salesforce gave one of its products a new name, then changed its mind and switched back. The new name was Salesforce Anywhere. Today it is Quip, and Quip is being switched off.”
Worked example
An admin at a 400-seat brokerage opens a 2021 onboarding doc. Step one: grant the Salesforce Anywhere Advanced permission set. She searches Setup for Salesforce Anywhere and gets nothing. Typing Quip into Quick Find finds it, and Salesforce Help lists Quip Advanced (previously Salesforce Anywhere Advanced). She corrects the runbook, then reads the Quip Retirement notice. The doc fix becomes a migration ticket.
Two products, one name, and what became of each
The rebrand Salesforce reversed
Winter '21 renamed Quip for Customer 360 to Salesforce Anywhere, pitching live documents and spreadsheets embedded in Salesforce records. That name did not stick. Salesforce Help files the same material under Quip now, with the old name in parentheses. The fossil record is in the URLs, which still route Quip articles through paths like anywhere_get_started. Docs teams rarely rewrite URLs.
The app that shared the name
Salesforce also shipped a Salesforce Anywhere app for mobile and desktop: chat threads, alerts when a record field changed, and shared documents in one shell. Nothing resembling it appears in Salesforce Help today, where the pages still carrying the Anywhere name cover documents, spreadsheets, and Lightning components. Old write-ups conflate that app with the rebrand, which is why the term reads as two things.
Where the capability sits today
Quip in Salesforce runs in Enterprise, Performance, Professional, Developer, and Unlimited editions. That banner covers the whole offering, not the paid tier alone. Read the qualifier under it twice. Quip, previously Quip for Customer 360, is available to existing customers only. Quip Advanced is what you buy to get past that. Connecting a Quip site creates the permission sets, an Auth. Provider, and an external data source, so hand-building those first only produces duplicates.
Do not migrate onto the successor
Salesforce published a Quip Retirement notice. No new accounts for non-customers after 17 February 2026, no renewals after 1 March 2027, free users cut off on 31 March 2027. Sites go read-only at that point. Logins stop working, then the data is deleted. Quip also sits on the Active Product and Feature Retirements list. The notice names Slack and Agentforce Sales as the destinations.
