Show full answer Show less ## Key Information for Upgrading * **No new features or changes:** Between Xanadu and Yokohama, there are no new features, changes, removals, or updates in Release Management functionality. * **Deprecation Notice:** Starting with Xanadu, Release Management v2 is being prepared for future deprecation. It will no longer be activated on new instances but remains supported. The recommended replacement is the Digital Product Release application, which offers the latest experience for managing release processes of digital products. * **Activation:** Release Management can be activated via the plugin `com.snc.releasemanagementv2` as of Xanadu. No activation changes were introduced in Yokohama. * **No additional requirements, browser, accessibility, or localization updates:** There are no updates in these areas for either release. ## Practical Takeaways for ServiceNow Customers * When upgrading from Xanadu to Yokohama, you should note that Release Management itself has no functional updates, so existing configurations and workflows will continue to operate as before. * Plan for the eventual transition away from Release Management v2 toward Digital Product Release for a more modern and supported release process management experience. * Ensure Release Management is properly activated using the designated plugin if you intend to continue using it post-upgrade. * Since there are no changes in browser compatibility, accessibility, or localization, no additional adjustments are required in these areas during the upgrade.
