Yokohama	Some Now Assist skills, agents, and agentic workflows are turned on by default The skills are automatically available to appropriate role users for the application, such as ITIL roles on incident forms or change forms. This change simply activates the skill and does not touch the roles that may be needed to use the skill. The new default behavior works as follows: New customers: When you install a Now Assist product, designated skills and agentic workflows are turned on automatically. Existing customers who are upgrading (starting with Yokohama Patch 11): Any previously unconfigured skill, agent, or agentic workflow is turned on automatically (the AI asset was never configured and turned on, then turned off again). Previously configured skills and agentic workflows that were turned on, then off, remain inactive. Preview deduplication template results While you're working in the manage duplicate CIs skill, select Review existing templates to help you to decide which deduplication template to apply. Now Assist generates a summary of the results of applying a template without actually running the remediation process. You can preview the results for any existing template. When you see the desired result in a preview, you can specify that template and proceed with the deduplication process.
