-   **[Instance Overview Page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

The Instance Overview page now displays last-cloned timestamps for each instance, enabling you to quickly identify stale environments and prioritize update activities.

-   **[Multi-Instance View](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

View clone activity across connected instances from a single console. Opt in from **Configuration** &gt; **Multi-Instance View** to begin monitoring multiple instances simultaneously.

Both the source and target instances must be on Australia Patch 2 or a subsequent release to use **Multi-Instance View**.

-   **[Clone FAQ Agent \(via Now Assist\)](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Get 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.

-   **Now Assist license requirement**

Requires a Now Assist license. If Now Assist is installed after the Clone Admin Console, reinstall the console from the Store to enable the skill.

-   **[Help Page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

-   **[Clone Request Estimated Completion](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=instance-clone-landing&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

The Clone Request page now displays an estimated completion time beneath the selected Date/Time. A relative time indicator \(for example, "in 2 hours" or "in 2 weeks"\) helps you plan activities accordingly.


 -   **[OAuth 2.0 authentication for clone targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=clone-oauth-authentication&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Authenticate clone requests to target instances using OAuth 2.0 without requiring local admin credentials.
