Licence count depends on your edition; it works with Identity or Free Limited Access licences, each environment gets roughly 10GB, and users need View All Data. It\u2019s excellent for contractors, locked-down laptops and quick fixes. It doesn\u2019t replace local VS Code for daily development.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re searching for Code Builder, the first thing worth knowing is that it has a new name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salesforce now calls it Agentforce Vibes IDE and describes the change as more than branding &#8211; a shift from a foundational code editor to an AI-first development system. Every third-party guide currently ranking for \u201cCode Builder\u201d predates that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second thing worth knowing is a licensing detail almost nobody mentions: Users need the View All Data permission. That\u2019s a security decision, not an administrative one, and it should be part of the evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Rename and What Actually Changed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20636\" src=\"https:\/\/dianapps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-26-2026-01_56_49-PM.webp\" alt=\"Diagram showing Code Builder renamed to Agentforce Vibes IDE, with notes that documentation URLs and third-party guides still use the old nam\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dianapps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-26-2026-01_56_49-PM.webp 1536w, https:\/\/dianapps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-26-2026-01_56_49-PM-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/dianapps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-26-2026-01_56_49-PM-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/dianapps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-26-2026-01_56_49-PM-640x427.webp 640w, https:\/\/dianapps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-26-2026-01_56_49-PM-400x267.webp 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagram showing Code Builder renamed to Agentforce Vibes IDE, with notes that documentation URLs and third-party guides still use the old name<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Salesforce\u2019s Own Framing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The next generation of their cloud-based IDE is now called Agentforce Vibes IDE, reflecting a shift from a code editor to an AI-first development system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What That Means Practically:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The foundation is unchanged &#8211; it\u2019s still browser-based VS Code with Salesforce tooling preloaded.
