Key Features
- Data Interface Editing (Version 1.1.1): Users can now fully edit published Data Interfaces without recreating them. Modifications include updating labels, source tables, combination methods (single table, JOIN, UNION), and target field configurations. Interface names and existing target field names remain unchanged to ensure stable contracts for downstream users. A review and transactional rollback feature guarantees interface integrity during edits.
- Workflow Data Fabric Integration (Version 1.0.9): Introduces core capabilities such as:
- Catalog-first authoring for discovering and onboarding data assets.
- Creation of Data Interfaces and Data Products from catalog assets to promote reuse and reduce duplication.
- Support for multi-source data composition through unions and joins.
- Governance and access control integrated with ServiceNow ACLs and role-based workflows.
- Zero-copy data access enabling federated queries across external sources like Snowflake and Databricks, with optimized pushdown query execution for near-real-time data access.
- Governed Data Products and Interfaces (Version 1.0.8): Focus on business-entity-centric packaging (e.g., Customer360, Billing), reusable assets discoverable through the data catalog, clear ownership, lifecycle management, and interface-driven access that avoids direct table coupling.
Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers
- Gain streamlined capabilities to manage and evolve data interfaces without disruption to consumers.
- Leverage a catalog-driven experience to onboard, create, and govern data assets efficiently, reducing redundancy and improving data quality.
- Ensure secure and governed data access through integrated ServiceNow access controls and request workflows.
- Access and query external data sources directly without replication, enhancing performance and enabling near-real-time insights.
- Utilize these capabilities in sub-production and development environments for free, with production use requiring appropriate Workflow Data Fabric licensing.

Version history
- Version 1.1.1 - June 2026
- Data Interface editing is now available: Added full edit capabilities for published Data Interfaces, enabling modifications without recreating the interface.
- Supported changes include:
-
- Updating interface labels
- Adding or removing source tables
- Changing combination methods (single table, JOIN, or UNION)
- Updating target field types and labels for existing columns
- Adding new target columnsInterface names and existing target field names remain immutable to preserve stable contracts for downstream consumers. The Review Changes modal displays pending edits before save, with transactional application ensuring the interface returns to its last published state if any step fails.
