What is AppExchange and how do you evaluate a package before installing?
Suggested answer
AppExchange is Salesforce's marketplace for third-party apps, components, and consulting services. Before installing a package:
1. Check the Security Review status — Salesforce-reviewed packages have passed a security audit.
2. Review ratings, reviews, and the number of installs.
3. Check compatibility with your Salesforce edition and API version.
4. Read the documentation for required permissions and object/field impacts.
5. Test in a sandbox first before production.
6. Review what the package accesses (objects, fields, external sites) in the installation screen.
7. Choose whether to install for All Users, Admins Only, or specific profiles. Always review package release notes for updates.
Practice content for interview preparation; not an official vendor answer. Verify details against current product documentation.
