Show full answer Show less ## Deprecation and Transition Guidance Starting with the Yokohama release, Data Separation is being prepared for deprecation and will be hidden. By the Australia release, the Data Separation application is no longer deployed, enhanced, or supported. Instead, ServiceNow recommends using Data Filters and Access Control Lists (ACLs) to configure data separation tailored to your use cases. This approach allows you to restrict access to sensitive data effectively, replacing the legacy Data Separation functionality. For detailed implementation guidance, refer to the relevant Knowledge Base articles on managing data separation using data filters and ACLs. ## Important Upgrade Information * There are no new features, changes, removals, activation updates, additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility, or localization updates for Data Separation between Yokohama and Australia releases. * Pre- and post-upgrade tasks should be reviewed and completed as needed, although no specific tasks are highlighted for Data Separation in these releases. ## What to Expect When upgrading to the Australia release, anticipate that the traditional Data Separation application will no longer be available or supported. Transitioning to data filters and ACLs will enable you to maintain data access controls and separation effectively within your ServiceNow environment. This change aligns with ServiceNow's modernization efforts and encourages more flexible and maintainable data security configurations.
