    About this task

    When ServiceNow® releases patches and new releases, you can apply the patch or release to your PDI from the Developer Site. You have two options for upgrading a PDI.
    Note:
    Patches for a release are applied to your PDI automatically up to once a month to maintain compliance with the ServiceNow Patching Program. Sometimes patches may be made available to apply outside the regular patching schedule. Use the Upgrade instance option to apply a patch manually.

    Procedure

    1. Open the Account menu to access the My Instance section.
    2. Click the Upgrade instance instance action.
    3. In the Your instance actions dialog, select the patch or release to apply to your PDI and click the Upgrade instance button.

    Result

    Upgrading your instance may take a couple of hours to complete. Do not run the upgrade until you have time to let the upgrade run.

    You will receive an email when the upgrade is complete.
