Show full answer Show less ## Key Information for Upgrading Before upgrading to Zurich, it is important to review and complete any pre- and post-upgrade tasks associated with Data Separation. However, for both Yokohama and Zurich releases, there are no new updates, feature changes, removals, activation changes, additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility, localization, or highlight information specifically related to Data Separation. ## Deprecation Notice Starting with the Yokohama release, Data Separation is being prepared for future deprecation and is now hidden. Customers are advised to transition to defining data filters and using Access Control Lists (ACLs) to restrict access to sensitive data as an alternative method for enabling data separation. Detailed guidance is available in the Now Support Knowledge Base articles: * **Deprecation Process:** KB0867184 * **Managing data separation using data filters and ACLs:** KB1772519 This shift represents the recommended approach moving forward for secure data partitioning within the platform. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers * You will not encounter any new Data Separation features or changes when upgrading from Yokohama to Zurich. * Prepare for the future phase-out of traditional Data Separation in favor of data filters and ACLs for sensitive data access control. * Consult the referenced Knowledge Base articles to understand how to implement data separation effectively using the supported mechanisms. * No additional configuration changes or browser/accessibility/localization considerations are required specifically for Data Separation during this upgrade.
