Show full answer Show less ## Important Upgrade Information * **Save as You Go Feature:** If upgrading from Washington DC, you may need to restore this feature if it was manually disabled. * **Enhanced Read-Only Field Protections:** Both Australia and Brazil releases introduce a new `readonlyoption` field on the ServiceNow AI Platform® with granular control levels such as `strictreadonly` and `clientscriptmodifiable`. These backend changes enhance instance security without breaking backward compatibility. Customers should review KB2718122 and documentation on configuring these security options before upgrading. ## New Features ### Australia Release Highlights * **Business Calendar Trigger:** Enables flows to be triggered based on business schedules, holidays, and shifts. * **Flow History Compare View:** Allows side-by-side comparison of flow history entries, highlighting added, removed, and changed components. * **Flow Execution Analysis:** Provides detailed insights into flow execution to identify errors and suggests fixes. * **Testing Tools for Conversational Actions and Subflows:** Test conversational elements before production deployment. * **AI Agent Actions:** Use flow data to run AI agents and configure expected outputs within flows. ### Brazil Release Highlights * **Enhanced Workflow Studio Flow Designer:** Improved interface to create and manage flows. * **Flow Troubleshooting Agent:** Diagnose and resolve flow errors interactively, resume flows from errors, analyze conflicts, and receive targeted recommendations. * **Flow Input Modification During Debugging:** Modify input values on the fly to test flow behavior and error triggers. * **System Event Publishing:** Publish events when flows enter error, canceled, or interrupted states, with customizable event names. ## Changes, Removals, and Deprecations * **Changes:** No updates affecting flows, subflows, or actions were noted between Australia and Brazil releases. * **Removals:** No features or functionality were removed in these releases. * **Deprecations:** The `now.assist.creator` role is no longer required to use generative AI features with Now Assist starting in Australia. ## Activation and Additional Information * **Workflow Studio Activation:** Active by default as part of the ServiceNow AI Platform. Updates are available via the ServiceNow Store for the latest features and improvements. * **Additional Requirements, Browser, Accessibility, and Localization:** No new updates or changes were introduced in these areas for Australia or Brazil releases. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * Upgrade preparation is simplified with consolidated release notes and clear upgrade tasks. * Improved security with granular read-only field controls protects your instance while maintaining flexibility. * New automation triggers and enhanced flow design and debugging tools accelerate flow development and troubleshooting. * Testing conversational flows before deployment reduces errors and improves user experience. * AI agent integration within flows enables more intelligent automation capabilities. * Event publishing on flow errors improves monitoring and operational response.
