Unterschiede zwischen Legacy Studio und ServiceNow Studio aus der Xanadu-Version.

[SotaT]

I would like to know the differences between the legacy Studio and the ServiceNow Studio released with the Xanadu version.

From my research, I believe that ServiceNow Studio has the following features.

-Cross-scope editing

-Navigation panel for searching and categorizing

-Code generation completion with Now Assist

-Switching update sets

-Publishing to app repository

-Access to integration builder

Based on these, what did you do in the legacy Studio but can no longer do, and what did you do that you can now do but In light of this, we would like to know what was done in legacy Studio but is no longer possible, and what was not done but can now be done.
