# Product Roadmap

YouDesign Models is designed to align seamlessly with the ServiceNow product roadmap, ensuring compatibility with all recent releases and supported versions of ServiceNow.

## Release Cadence

YouDesign Models follows a predictable release schedule so your team can plan upgrades with confidence:

* **One major release per year** — introduces significant new capabilities and structural changes (e.g., v26.0, v27.0)
* **Three minor releases per year** — deliver feature enhancements, improvements, and fixes (e.g., v26.1, v26.2, v26.3)

***

## YouDesign Models Release Timeline

### Current Release

**v26.0** is the current release, introducing the full AI Assistant, Data Panel, Layers panel, versioning, the Commit workflow, and a refreshed end-user experience.

### Planned Releases

Upcoming minors for the v26 line:

* **v26.1** – Next planned minor release
* **v26.2** – Follow-up minor release
* **v26.3** – Final minor of the v26 line
* **v27.0** – Next major release

> **Note:** Release content and timing are subject to change. Contact your ins-pi representative for the latest roadmap details.

***

## Support Policy

Supported releases receive security updates, bug fixes, and ServiceNow compatibility patches.

* **Active support** – the current major and its latest minor
* **Maintenance support** – the previous major for a limited window after the next major ships
* **End of support** – earlier majors are considered obsolete and should be upgraded

> **Important:** We recommend staying on the latest supported release so you always have access to new features, performance improvements, and critical fixes. If you're running an older version, plan an upgrade with your ServiceNow administrator.
