Question 4

ConfigBot for ServiceNow - Workbooks Deprecated / Upgrade Workbook

Accepted Answer

Workbooks Deprecated / Upgrade Workbook (ServiceNow – ConfigBot)

A deprecated workbook in ConfigBot for ServiceNow is a workbook that no longer maintains a bidirectional connection with a ServiceNow instance. This usually happens when our development team needs to alter the workbook’s formatting for one of the following reasons:

Service Now undergoes a significant change with a new release or feature.
We modify the workbook based on client feedback.

You can identify a deprecated workbook because its iteration will appear in gray.

What do I do when the workbook deprecates?

For a quick fix, use the “Upgrade Workbook” function. This will trigger a bot to reformat the workbook into the latest ConfigBot standard, restoring bidirectional communication between the workbook and your ServiceNow instance. After the “Upgrade Workbook” process completes, you’ll be able to continue automating configuration and generate a new workbook from that same instance. To run this feature, click the hamburger menu on a deprecated workbook. (Note: Not all users have permissions for this action. Please contact your Company Admin if access is needed.)

The Upgrade Workbook feature does not require logging in to ServiceNow. Therefore, the
