Overview

Wave provides two distinct workspaces for interacting with Salesforce data. Both deliver a familiar spreadsheet-like interface for editing, sorting, and analyzing records, while catering to different user needs and deployment contexts.

Wave Embedded is accessed directly within Salesforce through a top navigation bar. It provides a lightweight, Excel-like experience for users who need to quickly update and organize Salesforce data without leaving the platform.

Wave Browser Extension is accessed via a Chrome or Edge browser extension, featuring a sidebar and top bar for navigation. It is suited for users who frequently manage multiple grids and reports, with support for bulk editing, advanced filtering, and structured data management.

Below is an overview of the key components in each workspace.
