Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Target Instance Modal (Xanadu):** Enables users to request data clones from a production instance to non-production instances or between non-production instances directly from the form using an "add an instance" option in the clone request target instance field. This streamlines clone requests without leaving the form. * **Backup Optimization (Xanadu):** Allows faster clone backups by reusing backups from other clones if available. If the backup is unavailable, an on-demand backup is triggered automatically to ensure cloning continuity. * **Clone Storage Improvements (Xanadu):** Distinguishes storage of legacy and new clones. New clones requested via Clone Admin Console are stored in a new table and visible in the new console, while legacy clones remain in the legacy Clone History table and are not displayed in the new console. No new features were introduced in the Yokohama release. ## Upgrade Preparation and Tasks Before upgrading to Yokohama, review and complete all recommended pre- and post-upgrade tasks to ensure system stability and proper functionality of the Clone Admin Console. No specific changes or activation instructions are noted for either Xanadu or Yokohama, indicating consistent activation procedures. ## Changes, Removals, and Deprecations There have been no changes, removals, or deprecations of Clone Admin Console features between the Xanadu and Yokohama releases. ## Additional Considerations * **Highlight Notes (Xanadu):** * Using a new backup can accelerate the backup process during cloning. * Clone preserver guidance is integrated into the Create a Clone form to assist in managing preserved data during cloning. * Clone-related queries now respect ACLs (Access Control Lists), enhancing security and compliance. * Custom clone flows should be tested to ensure compatibility. * No updates for browser requirements, accessibility, localization, or additional requirements were noted for either release. ## What to Expect After upgrading to Yokohama, you can continue to use the Clone Admin Console with the improvements introduced in Xanadu, such as streamlined clone requests and optimized backup processes. The separation of legacy and new clone storage simplifies clone management. Since Yokohama does not introduce changes or removals, your existing workflows remain supported, ensuring stability and continuity.
