Upgrading the Now Assist plugins activate any designated skills that were previously untouched by the customer.

    -   If you have previously toggled a skill from active and then back to inactive or have updated any roles for that skill, that skill remains inactive upon upgrading.
    -   You maintain full control over deactivating individual skills at any time after activation.
Starting with version 2.0.1, the name of the Now Assist for Security Operations application in ServiceNow® Store and in your ServiceNow AI Platform® instance has changed to ServiceNow Otto for Security Incident Response \(SIR\). You must upgrade to version 2.0.1 to access the following features:

The AI Search application must be enabled so that the recommended actions skill works for security incidents. To verify that AI Search is enabled on your instance, navigate to **All** &gt; **AI Search** &gt; **AI Search Status**. Contact support if the page indicates that AI Search is not enabled.
