As you may have seen in the Fullcrm Summer 23 Salesforce release notes blog, Pipeline Inspection is now freely available in Enterprise Edition without an Add-On Licence. So what is Pipeline Inspection and why should your team consider learning how to use this tool?
What is Pipeline Inspection?
Introduced in the Summer 21 release, Pipeline Inspection was a paid add-on that required licenses to view the unique reports. Now this incredible tool is freely available to all.

On the single page, users can view their pipeline, stages of deal opportunities, week-to-week changes, close date predictions and upcoming activities.
- Stay on top of the current health of the business, how the forecast is trending and track the revenue movements all from one report screen.
- Summarised important recent deal changes for managers and reps know where to focus their time to stay on top of key opportunities.
- Insights to plan what deals to discuss with sales reps in upcoming progress meetings.
- Quickly view your pipeline and identify deals of interest all without leaving the opportunity page.
With this intelligence, sales teams can focus on the most important opportunities and forecast revenue more accurately.
