Customers are encouraged to transition to Impact Instance Observer for enhanced system performance monitoring. * **Application Insights:** Hidden and removed from the ServiceNow Store in preparation for future deprecation, but remains supported. Impact Instance Observer is recommended as an alternative. ## Activation and Requirements The Core ServiceNow AI Platform feature is active by default and requires no additional activation steps. There are no new additional or browser-specific requirements introduced between Xanadu and Yokohama. ## Accessibility Enhancements * TinyMCE editor upgrade notably improved keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and low vision compatibility, including dark theme support for the script and HTML editor toolbars. * Accessibility fixes were applied in Admin Center and Adoption Blueprints addressing various user personas including low vision, no vision, color blindness, auditory, speech, cognitive, and physical impairments. ## Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers Upgrading from Xanadu to Yokohama ensures access to modern scripting capabilities, improved job scheduling and monitoring, enhanced UI editing with TinyMCE, and better API analytics. The deprecation of older dashboards signals a shift toward newer monitoring tools like Impact Instance Observer. Accessibility improvements enhance usability for diverse user groups.
