Hi @Kri,

Whilst components or related records such as an SLA deinfition's scope can be easily updated, for an application itself - you cannot change the scope without a lot of 'workarounds and manipulation'.

As far as a CAD exam, and best practice advice - the answer is 'No'.

But rather than simply going with a response on the community, let's explore and understand the why and what scope is and the concept.

Scope uniquely identifies every application file, not just within a single ServiceNow instance, but in every instance around the world. Why is this important?

• Scope protects an application, its files, and its data from conflicts with other applications.
• Scope determines which parts of an application are available for use by other applications in ServiceNow.
• Scope allows developers to configure which parts of their application can be acted on by other applications.
• Scope prevents work done in the main ServiceNow browser window (not in Studio) from becoming part of an application's files.

This is a tricky question. You can change scope from application picker on the header to go to the application scope you want to work on. But you cannot change the scope of the application itself once it is created.

The question is can you change application's scope: -Nooooooooooooo.

Like if you find the response helpful.
