    Key Upgrade Information

    • No updates or changes: There are no new features, changes, removals, activation procedures, additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility, or localization updates for Data Separation between Yokohama and Zurich releases.
    • Deprecation notice: Starting with the Yokohama release, Data Separation is being prepared for future deprecation and will be hidden. Customers should reference the Deprecation Process knowledge base article (KB0867184) for details.
    • Alternative approach to data separation: Instead of relying solely on Data Separation, customers can configure data filters and Access Control Lists (ACLs) to restrict access to sensitive data. Guidance for enabling data separation with data filters and ACLs is available in the Managing data separation using data filters and ACLs knowledge base article (KB1772519).

    Before upgrading to Zurich, review and complete any necessary pre- and post-upgrade tasks related to Data Separation to ensure a smooth transition. Since Data Separation functionality is moving towards deprecation, plan to adopt data filters and ACLs for managing data access going forward.

    This release notes consolidation helps customers quickly verify that no unexpected changes affect their Data Separation configurations when moving from Yokohama to Zurich, while highlighting important strategic shifts in how data separation should be managed.
