Summer '26 makes custom Lightning Web Components available directly inside Lightning dashboards. That turns normal dashboards from report-only surfaces into places for custom visuals, guided context, and small actions.
Summer '26 makes LWC state managers one of the most interesting developer changes in the release. Use them to centralise data logic, but keep your raw UI components reusable with plain properties and events.
Summer '26 puts preview features behind Salesforce Release Manager's Dev channel. That is useful, but only if teams isolate experiments, keep production delivery clean, and define when a preview should graduate or be killed.
Summer '26 makes Single Component Live Preview and the Live Preview VS Code extension generally available for LWC. The useful bit is not the rename from Local Dev; it is the faster edit, preview, and fix loop.
Summer '26 dynamic list components are only Developer Preview, but they point to the right pattern for huge LWC lists: render the viewport, page the data, and never dump 100,000 rows into the DOM.
Complex template expressions in LWC can remove tiny bits of boilerplate, but they are best kept to simple math and checks.
GraphQL mutations in API 66.0+ let LWCs create, update, and delete UI API-supported records without Apex for standard CRUD paths.
