Sextant's tooltip identifies the text under the pointer as the Custom Label Verification_Step_Upload ("Upload identity document"), shows it in English, Spanish and French, and has the missing Dutch translation typed in place, ready to save.

Hold a key and point at any text on the page. Sextant tells you what it is, and you can fix it right there. Screenshot of the real product in the demo. Northstar Subscriptions is a fictional org.

Where does this text come from?

A user reports wrong French text on a field. Is it a Custom Label, a field label, a picklist value or a Translation Workbench override? Salesforce shows the text but not where it comes from, so in Setup you have to check one component at a time. Sextant tells you from the page itself.

Sextant is a Chrome extension for Salesforce admins and developers. It identifies the Salesforce metadata behind the text on a Lightning page, searches metadata by label, API name and translation, and edits supported translations in your own org. There is no Sextant server or account, and no analytics or telemetry: it works with the Salesforce session you already have.

Inspect

Point at any text to see the metadata behind it

Hold a key and point at a label, a field or a picklist value on a Lightning page. Sextant shows the component, its API name and every translation. When it cannot be sure which component a text belongs to, it shows nothing rather than guessing.

Search

Search your org with the words users actually saw

Paste a phrase in any language, a label or the start of an API name. Sextant finds the component and shows why each result matched.

  • Compare environments

    Production, UAT and Development side by side: what differs, what is missing and what exists in only one org.

    Production and UAT side by side: each org's snapshot of Northstar, then the 2,081 translations compared, row by row, with a column for each org; the first ones exist in only one of them.Production and UAT side by side: each org's snapshot of Northstar, then the 2,081 translations compared, row by row, with a column for each org; the first ones exist in only one of them.

Trust

It only talks to your Salesforce org

There is no Sextant server and no account. Sextant calls Salesforce's APIs as you, with the session you already have, and keeps its data in your browser profile. These are the six statements it makes about itself, the same ones it shows in its Settings.

Where your data goes Sextant runs in your browser. Its requests go to your Salesforce org's own API address, and what it keeps stays in the storage the browser gives the extension. There is no Sextant server to send anything to.

Sextant runs in your browser. Its requests go to your Salesforce org's own API address, and what it keeps stays in the storage the browser gives the extension. There is no Sextant server to send anything to.
  1. Sextant sends requests only to Salesforce, and the browser blocks its pages from contacting any other site.
  2. No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting or advertising.
  3. There is no Sextant account or server. Nothing you do in Sextant is sent to its developer.
  4. Everything Sextant runs ships inside the installed extension. It downloads no code.
  5. Your Salesforce session is read when a request needs it and is never stored, logged or exported by Sextant.
  6. What Sextant keeps stays in this browser profile. You can see it, export it and delete it in Settings.
