## Upgrade Center {#upgrade-now-platform__section_tf1_5zm_gvb}

Plan for all your upgrades on the ServiceNow AI Platform, and get clear oversight of the process at every step. The Upgrade Center includes multiple options for each aspect of your upgrading plan. Explore various updates available to your infrastructure with
Upgrade Preview, including detailed insights before actually upgrading. Visual task boards (VTB) in the Upgrade Center give you all the necessary info to manage your workflow post-upgrade, and past updates are detailed with the
Upgrade History module. Tie it all together with the Upgrade Monitor to plan, schedule, observe, and debug upgrades.
