Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Zurich 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 Automated Test Framework 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\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **Upgrade information**\n\nCopy and customize quick start tests provided by the ServiceNow AI Platform® to validate that your instance works after you make any configuration changes.
