As of version 27.2.4, smaller apps load all files on open, while larger apps (exceeding a configurable limit) load a subset initially, with additional files available on demand. Search for files in larger apps will perform server-side calls to decrease load times. Contact your ServiceNow support team to change the app size limits. As of version 27.2.4, use the new full-page, guided file creation experience to create any type of file for which you have permission. As of version 27.2.4, the app details page for each app shows which development environment your app was created in. Use this information to switch between environments as needed in the course of app development and deployment. Use the best tool for your app development by switching between Creator Studio, ServiceNow Studio, and ServiceNow IDE. Help prevent duplicate app creation by summarizing the contents of an app using Now Assist app summary generation in ServiceNow Studio and using the summary if accurate as the app description. Change settings or see related links for an app from the app details page. Refresh your app to load updated details. In the November 2024 release, only admins could create apps in ServiceNow Studio. Now, users with Guided Application Creator (GAC) roles can also create applications. |

As of version 27.2.4, the available options at the success page for creating an application changed from Go to app dashboard to View App Details and Create File. The App settings icon in ServiceNow Studio used to open a small modal where only a few settings could be updated and the app could be deleted. In this release, the icon opens a Core UI view of all the app settings and related links for the app. |

As of version 28.2.1, access to source control integration and collaboration functions on each App details page has moved into the More actions menu. Some icon placement depends on the configuration for each application. The link to open an app in Creator Studio was previously available on the App details page in the app metadata section.

ServiceNow Otto is the new AI experience brand. This change is reflected in the name of ServiceNow products, including ServiceNow Studio. Your product entitlements remain unchanged. Check your entitlements to determine your access to specific features. Developers who prompt Build Agent to create an app from the ServiceNow Developer site are redirected to ServiceNow Studio instead of ServiceNow IDE to continue building their app. Files with preview capabilities open directly in preview mode in ServiceNow Studio, bypassing the record view. This change reduces the number of steps required to view file content and keeps developers focused on their work without manual mode switching. Integrated tabs are no longer color-coded or grouped by scope. You can see a list of the open files by selecting the more actions icon and selecting Show Opened Editors. Build Agent is the default setting for AI-assisted app generation in ServiceNow Studio. You can change this setting in the ServiceNow Studio user preferences menu. As of the Australia Patch 3 (June), the Bookmark icon is now the Collections icon. Bookmarks are available as a category under collections. The Navigator panel icons in ServiceNow Studio have changed slightly in size and appearance, but not in function. |

Update sets and changes linked to source control both display in the Changes tab, with clear tracking paths for both options and support for simultaneous update set and source control use. ServiceNow Studio user preferences and settings have moved from the top right corner to the bottom left corner of the interface. View what's new in ServiceNow Studio, access command palette and keyboard shortcut options, and update preferences. ServiceNow Otto for app summary generation now uses an AI agent to generate application summaries. This change moves the App summary generation from a skill-based architecture to the AI agent orchestration model. With this release, users who install the App summary plugin receive the App Summary AI agent. The App Summary AI agent is turned off by default after plugin installation to help avoid unexpected charges. An administrator must enable the agent in AI Agent Studio before users can generate application summaries. The end-user experience remains the same. The change affects only the underlying architecture, which now uses an agentic model instead of the earlier skill-based model.
The Deployment tab, with lists of all update sets, applications, and deployment requests, has moved from the home page to the activity bar as a separate tab. |

The newly redesigned ServiceNow Studio went through several iterations before the replatform onto VS Code that occurred in March 2026. All versions before the replatform have been deprecated. Previously, turning off Build Agent returned you to the pre-VS Code version of ServiceNow Studio. Now, it stays on the VS Code version and turns off Build Agent.
The Experience switcher has been removed from ServiceNow Studio. ServiceNow IDE capabilities were consolidated under the Explorer tab in ServiceNow Studio. There is no current replacement for the Experience switcher, but each individual application can still be accessed on the ServiceNow AI Platform.
The Tools tab has been removed from the ServiceNow Studio home page, with no replacement. For links to documentation for each development tool, see Integrated dev tools in ServiceNow Studio.
The Create menu in the top right corner of ServiceNow Studio has been removed. The other Create option in the activity bar is still available and has the same functionality.
The Resources section has been removed from the ServiceNow Studio home page. There is no current replacement for the Resources section, but users with Build Agent can prompt in the main chat to access resources. |

Bookmarks are available as a category under collections. - **[ServiceNow Studio user interface](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-studio-user-interface&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)** The Navigator panel icons in ServiceNow Studio have changed slightly in size and appearance, but not in function. </td></tr><tr><td> Brazil </td><td> - **[Managing application and record changes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=managing-application-and-record-changes&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)** Update sets and changes linked to source control both display in the Changes tab, with clear tracking paths for both options and support for simultaneous update set and source control use. - **[ServiceNow Studio settings](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-studio-settings&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)** ServiceNow Studio user preferences and settings have moved from the top right corner to the bottom left corner of the interface. View what's new in ServiceNow Studio, access command palette and keyboard shortcut options, and update preferences. - **[App summary generation moves to an agentic architecture](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=sns-exploring-now-assist-app-summarize&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)** ServiceNow Otto for app summary generation now uses an AI agent to generate application summaries. This change moves the App summary generation from a skill-based architecture to the AI agent orchestration model. With this release, users who install the App summary plugin receive the App Summary AI agent. The App Summary AI agent is turned off by default after plugin installation to help avoid unexpected charges. An administrator must enable the agent in AI Agent Studio before users can generate application summaries. The end-user experience remains the same. The change affects only the underlying architecture, which now uses an agentic model instead of the earlier skill-based model. - **Deployment tab** The **Deployment** tab, with lists of all update sets, applications, and deployment requests, has moved from the home page to the activity bar as a separate tab. </td></tr></tbody> </table>## Removed Between your current release family and Brazil, some ServiceNow Studio features or functionality were removed. <table class="custom-rows"><thead><tr><th class="filter"> Release </th><th> Release notes </th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td> Xanadu </td><td> No updates for this release. </td></tr><tr><td> Yokohama </td><td> No updates for this release. </td></tr><tr><td> Zurich </td><td> No updates for this release. </td></tr><tr><td> Australia </td><td> No updates for this release. </td></tr><tr><td> Brazil </td><td> No updates for this release. </td></tr></tbody> </table>## Deprecations Between your current release family and Brazil, some ServiceNow Studio features or functionality were deprecated. <table class="custom-rows"><thead><tr><th class="filter"> Release </th><th> Release notes </th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td> Xanadu </td><td> No updates for this release. </td></tr><tr><td> Yokohama </td><td> No updates for this release. </td></tr><tr><td> Zurich </td><td> No updates for this release. </td></tr><tr><td> Australia </td><td> No updates for this release. </td></tr><tr><td> Brazil </td><td> - **Pre-VS Code replatformed version of ServiceNow Studio** The newly redesigned ServiceNow Studio went through several iterations before the replatform onto VS Code that occurred in March 2026.
