100% native Salesforce app — nothing leaves your org.
Every report you'd otherwise build by hand
Config Workbook reads metadata straight from the Metadata API and formats it into workbooks your team can actually use — no copy-pasting between setup pages.
Fine-grained object metadata
For every standard and custom object, explore fields, picklists, formulas, validation rules, field sets, record types, business processes, and custom buttons/links — all in one workbook.
Download a sample reportField-level security, mapped
See exactly which profiles and permission sets can read or edit every field, across every object, in a single matrix — the report other tools don't build.
Apex, Triggers, and Visualforce, documented
Classes with code coverage, namespace, API version, and length. Triggers with DML events and object mapping. VF pages and components with last-modified history — ready for a technical design doc.
Download a sample reportLive dashboards, not just Excel exports
Beyond downloadable reports, Config Workbook ships live, in-app dashboards for the questions admins get asked every week.
Every admin change, tracked automatically
Audit Trail Explorer pulls your org's setup audit trail and scores every change High, Medium, or Low risk — filterable by profile, action, and category — so you know what to review first, not just what changed.
Your org's security posture, at a glance
The Org Security & Compliance Dashboard rolls up failed logins, admin-access users, publicly accessible objects, and high-risk changes into one view — instead of a dozen separate setup pages.
Know your limits before Salesforce enforces them
Org Limits tracks storage, API requests, permission sets, and platform event usage against your org's real ceilings — color-coded Healthy, Warning, and Critical so nothing sneaks up on you.
Three ways to actually see your org
Metadata is easier to trust when you can see it. Config Workbook turns dependencies, object relationships, and runtime behavior into interactive maps you can explore, rearrange, and export — no diagramming tool required.
Dependency Explorer
Pick any component — an Apex class, a Lightning bundle, a custom object — and instantly see everything it touches and everything that touches it. Config Workbook draws “Uses (Depends On)” and “Used By (Dependents)” as two colour-coded relationships, turning an impact analysis that used to mean clicking through Setup into a single, draggable diagram. Switch between Report, Diagram, and Tree View, expand nodes on demand, and export the whole graph to CSV before your next deployment.
Object ERD
Every lookup, master-detail, and reference relationship in your org, drawn automatically. Start from any object, choose how many levels deep to travel, exclude the system noise, and watch Config Workbook build a living entity-relationship diagram. Standard, custom, and system objects are colour-coded; parent references and child relationships use distinct line styles. Flip between horizontal and vertical layouts, go full screen, and add a node's relationships with a single click.
Process Map
Drop in an Apex Debug Log or an Event Log CSV and Config Workbook rebuilds the execution as a process map you can actually follow. Boxes are draggable, colours are data-driven, and Play traces the flow step by step. It strips thousands of framework and system calls to show your business logic only, surfaces entry points, hot spots, and the strongest call paths, then rolls governor limits — SOQL, DML, CPU, heap — into one summary. In beta, and already the fastest way to understand what a transaction really did.

Loved by admins, MVPs, and consultants
A mix of AppExchange reviews and direct feedback — unedited, from real Config Workbook customers.
“Config Workbook fills so many Salesforce voids. The ability to quickly analyze information around metadata, usage and other critical setup items has been invaluable. The price can't be beat and their customer service is responsive and quick. This is a must have for your Salesforce toolkit.”
“To my knowledge, this is the only app that extracts Field Level Security. I picked a bunch of profiles, and 7 objects of interest and it spit out the matrix of security.”
“There are so many great applications for CWB, too many to list. One very helpful and practical use: mass update field help/hover and description details. Support folks are super :) What you get for the price is so great!”
“This app exports metadata information into a nicely prepared Excel workbook. Saves a tremendous amount of time for establishing the current configuration baseline.”
“This tool is amazing and I use it for a lot of my everyday tasks. It really helps analyze metadata that would be very difficult to manually go in and check on — such as analyzing profiles and permission sets.”
“An awesome tool for admins and consultants who need to document the customization of a Salesforce org. It's very easy to use, and the generated Excel files are well designed — no rework needed.”
“The CWB tool has been absolutely great, and has become invaluable to me. It makes some admin tasks much easier and much more efficient. The devs are adding more functions and features on a regular basis. Highly recommend.”
“When I first became an admin I was given the task of documenting what profile could see what object. That took me two days. Now, in a matter of minutes, I have the information. What a time saver!”
“I was able to install, configure, and pull down all of my custom types to a nice, neat, clean Excel workbook in under 30 minutes. Keep up the great work!”
“This app allows you to get full insight into the configuration of your org. I highly recommend it for admins and consultants — it eliminates the risk of typos when documenting your Salesforce org.”
