Show full answer Show less ## Deprecation and Support Status * **Yokohama Release:** Data Separation began preparation for future deprecation and was hidden. Customers are advised to refer to ServiceNow's Deprecation Process documentation and consider using alternative configurations such as data filters and access control lists (ACLs) to restrict sensitive data access. * **Australia Release:** The Data Separation application is no longer deployed, enhanced, or supported. Customers should transition to using Data Filters and ACLs for data separation needs. Guidance for enabling data separation through these alternatives is available in the Now Support Knowledge Base. ## No Updates Across Releases Across all release families (Xanadu, Yokohama, Zurich, and Australia), there were no new features, changes, removals, activation information, additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility information, localization considerations, or highlight updates specifically for Data Separation. The release notes explicitly state "No updates for this release" for these categories, indicating stability and no required changes in these areas for customers. ## Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers * If you are upgrading from Xanadu to Australia, you do not need to adjust settings or prepare for new Data Separation features, as none have been introduced or changed. * Because Data Separation is deprecated and unsupported starting with Australia, plan to migrate your data access controls to use data filters and ACLs, which provide flexible, supported alternatives for restricting access to sensitive data. * Review the Now Support Knowledge Base articles referenced for detailed instructions on managing data separation with data filters and ACLs to ensure compliance and data security post-upgrade. * No additional activation steps or browser accessibility/localization considerations are required for Data Separation in these releases.
