+:::caution[Deprecation notice]
+Classic Schema Validation has been deprecated. 
+
+Upload all new schemas to [Schema Validation 2.0](/api-shield/security/schema-validation/). 
+:::
+
 Use the **API Shield** interface to configure [API Schema Validation](/api-shield/security/schema-validation/), which validates requests according to the <GlossaryTooltip term="API schema">API schema</GlossaryTooltip> you provide.
 
 Before you can configure Schema Validation for an API, you must obtain an API Schema file matching our [specifications](/api-shield/security/schema-validation/#specifications).
