Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Yokohama to Australia.\n\n**Tip:** If there were no updates for a release notes section in a certain family release, we included a short note for your reference. For example, if a product did not have any updates in Tokyo, the row says \"No updates for this release.\"\n\n## Important information for upgrading Clone Admin Console to Australia\n\nBefore you upgrade to Australia, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr></tbody>\n</table>## New features\n\nBetween your current release family and Australia, new features were introduced for Clone Admin Console.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **[Instance Overview Page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nThe Instance Overview page now displays last-cloned timestamps for each instance, enabling you to quickly identify stale environments and prioritize update activities.\n\n-   **[Multi-Instance View](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nView clone activity across connected instances from a single console. Opt in from **Configuration** &gt; **Multi-Instance View** to begin monitoring multiple instances simultaneously.\n\nBoth the source and target instances must be on Australia Patch 2 or a subsequent release to use **Multi-Instance View**.\n\n-   **[Clone FAQ Agent \\(via Now Assist\\)](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nGet answers to clone questions directly in the console, powered by curated ServiceNow clone documentation. This AI-assisted capability streamlines the learning experience for new users.\n\n-   **Now Assist license requirement**\n\nRequires a Now Assist license. If Now Assist is installed after the Clone Admin Console, reinstall the console from the Store to enable the skill.\n\n-   **[Help Page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nThe static FAQ section on the Homepage has been replaced with a dedicated Help page.

This feature removes the previous limitation where any new clone requests were not allowed until all existing requests were canceled. You can now submit new clone requests if more than five days apart from existing ones.\n\n-   **[Clone summary](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_StartAClone&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nHelp prevent clone conflicts with the **Clone summary**, which highlights clones that are scheduled in the next 30 days that involve the same target instance.\n\n-   **[Configuration tab](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nAll clone-related settings are now grouped under a single **Configuration** tab for improved organization and discoverability.\n\n-   **[Clone Home Renamed to Clone Activity](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nThe **Clone Home** menu item has been renamed to **Clone Activity** to be more descriptive of the page's purpose and improve navigation clarity.\n\n-   **Clone profile script updates**\n\nFixed an issue where setting a script in the clone\\_cleanup\\_script table to active=false or active=true did not apply consistently across all clone profiles the script was listed on. Changes now propagate correctly.\n\nBoth the source and target instances must be on Australia Patch 5 or a subsequent release to use cleanup script status.\n\n\n</td></tr></tbody>\n</table>## Removed\n\nBetween your current release family and Australia, some Clone Admin Console features or functionality were removed.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr></tbody>\n</table>## Deprecations\n\nBetween your current release family and Australia, some Clone Admin Console features or functionality were deprecated.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   The legacy clone request page clone\\_instance.DO is going to be retired in the A release.\n-   Update to the latest version for the best experience and performance improvements.
