ServiceNow Studio for ServiceNow IDE developers

concept brazil Updated Oct 8, 2026 1 min read qs-sn-studio-for-ide-developers.md

Use ServiceNow IDE capabilities within ServiceNow Studio to build apps in source code. The Explorer tab in ServiceNow Studio consolidates all IDE features.

Workspaces

The concept of workspaces is a bit different in ServiceNow Studio than in ServiceNow IDE. In the ServiceNow IDE, you can add any applications that you're working on to a workspace to navigate through them all from one place. You can create multiple workspaces to group different sets of applications. Workspaces are specific to a user, and applications can be added or removed from a workspace at any time.

In ServiceNow Studio, the Explorer tab acts as a single, persistent workspace, where you can add any application that has been converted to Fluent. For that reason, workspaces don't need to be created in ServiceNow Studio to create or group applications.

What is ServiceNow Fluent source control?

Use ServiceNow Fluent source control in ServiceNow Studio to track work on apps built in source code and converted to Fluent.

Important: Only admins can work on Fluent apps. Do not convert the app if you want delegated developers to continue working on the application.

For more information, see Building apps in source code in ServiceNow Studio and Fluent source control in ServiceNow Studio.
