# Multi-Instance View

Multi-Instance View enables you to monitor and manage clone operations across multiple linked instances from a single primary instance. Use it to view clone status, track refresh history, and view cleanup script status without logging into each instance separately.

## Instance Clone Multi-Instance view

Use Instance Clone Multi-Instance View to manage clones centrally across multiple linked instances. Instead of logging into each instance individually, administrators submit clone requests, monitor status, and manage configurations from a primary instance.

**Note:** Connected instances require Australia Patch 2 or later on both the source and target instances.

Some of the key benefits of using Multi-Instance View are:

-   View all clone requests across instances on the Clone Admin Console
-   See which instances were last cloned and how recently

Consider enabling Multi-Instance View if you need:

-   Centralized visibility into clone status and history across all instances
-   Quick identification of stale instances needing data refresh
-   View cleanup script status without logging into each instance separately, starting with the Australia Patch 5 release, when Multi-Instance View is enabled on both instances.

**Note:** Once [the Multi-Instance View feature is set up](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/setup-multi-instance-view.md), you can view clone records from other instances from the **Origin Instance** option on the Clone Activity page and the **Instance Overview** page.
