# Add cleanup scripts

# Create cleanup scripts {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Use cleanup scripts to automate post-clone steps or to modify data after your clone.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

Verify that custom scripts have proper error handling to avoid issues. Without proper error handling, failing customized scripts can help prevent subsequent scripts from executing.  
Note:  
After your clone completes, you can monitor the execution status of each cleanup script on the target instance. See [Monitor cleanup script execution](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/5iOr9INTboqWOPGfTGdKKw "Monitor the execution status of cleanup scripts after a clone and retry any scripts that encountered errors.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllClone Admin ConsoleClone Home.
2. Select Configuration from the secondary navigation.
3. Select the Cleanup scripts tab.
4. Select New.
5. Enter a name for your script.
6. Select the order number for your script.
7. Check Active when your script is ready.
8. Enter your script in the Script field, and select Save.
