Salesforce documentation is the process of tracking and explaining all the objects, fields, automations, and dependencies that make up your org. In complex environments, this documentation is often incomplete or outdated, making troubleshooting risky and onboarding slow. Sweep replaces static spreadsheets and tribal knowledge with live, AI-powered documentation that updates automatically as your org evolves. Teams gain full visibility, reduce errors, and save hours every week.

Manual documentation requires admins to track fields, flows, and dependencies in spreadsheets or wikis—a process that quickly becomes outdated. Sweep automates 95% of that work by continuously syncing metadata, generating AI-powered explanations, and mapping dependencies in real time. For example, Deputy reduced troubleshooting time 3× and cut troubleshooting time by 99% after switching from manual methods to Sweep.

Arovy (previously Sonar) provides impact analysis and change tracking but is primarily focused on visualizing dependencies. While helpful for seeing where a field or flow connects, it often requires admins to interpret the results manually. Sweep goes beyond Arovy by embedding an AI agent directly into its documentation layer, letting admins ask natural-language questions like “Which flows touch this field?” or “What breaks if I change this picklist?” and get instant, actionable answers. This turns metadata into something usable in real time for troubleshooting, audits, and training, rather than a static map that still requires expert interpretation. In addition, Sweep offers real-time change logs, embedded deduplication and matching, and full cross-object dependency mapping, features that extend documentation into true operational control.

Sweep outpaces Hubbl in Salesforce documentation by offering not just dashboards and visibility, but actionable insights through its AI-agent, continuous metadata sync, and dependency mapping. While Hubbl offers strong process analytics, org health checks, and metadata dashboards, its snapshot-oriented model often means delays and manual interpretation. Sweep, on the other hand, lets admins ask natural-language questions about flows, fields, and automations, see dependencies in real time, track changes as they happen, and immediately connect documentation to downstream workflows (dedupe, routing, alerts). That reduces risk, speeds troubleshooting, and makes metadata management usable for both technical and business users.

Elements.cloud is a strong documentation and impact analysis tool, but it’s built primarily for Salesforce consultants and architects who already have deep technical expertise. It provides excellent governance and process mapping but often requires manual interpretation of data and relationships.

Sweep takes a different approach. It’s built for Salesforce teams who need instant clarity without relying on consultants. Sweep’s AI agents automatically surface dependencies, explain automations in plain language, and help the entire team—technical or not—understand what’s happening across the org. Instead of manually mapping and analyzing each component, Sweep continuously syncs and contextualizes your org for real-time decision-making.

Metazoa excels in technical debt cleanup and metadata reporting, providing a deep historical view of org complexity. It’s comprehensive for documentation, but it’s largely retrospective—focused on cleaning up what exists rather than guiding what comes next.

Sweep builds on that foundation by turning documentation into actionable intelligence. Instead of static reports, Sweep’s AI agents help you interpret impact, understand dependencies, and plan safe changes before deployment. Where Metazoa tells you what you have, Sweep tells you what to do next and how to do it safely. It’s the difference between a detailed encyclopedia and a strategic advisor sitting beside you.

Most documentation tools act as static repositories—you still have to analyze, interpret, and explain the results manually. Sweep embeds intelligence directly into the documentation layer. You can ask, “What’s the impact of changing this validation rule?” or “Which flows use this field?” and get a direct, contextual answer. That means less time decoding reports and more time improving the system.

Yes. Sweep documents everything from standard objects and fields to advanced metadata like Apex triggers, CPQ configurations, validation rules, flows, and custom metadata types. Each item is automatically described, mapped for dependencies, and tracked for changes. Unlike native Salesforce tools, Sweep provides one consolidated, searchable workspace for your entire org.

Yes. Sweep runs natively alongside your Salesforce instance and doesn’t extract customer data outside your org. Only metadata (configuration details like objects, fields, and automations) is documented, not customer PII or transactional data. This design makes Sweep safe for enterprises in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and government.
