If you want to quickly find which plugins or applications have updates available in your ServiceNow instance, here’s how you can do it:


Steps:

You can get this information from the sys_store_app table.

Apply the following filters to narrow down the list to customer-visible plugins that need updates:

Field Condition Purpose
Active true Only shows currently active plugins
Update Available true Lists plugins that have an update available
Hidden on UI false Excludes internal or non-customer-facing plugins

Example URL

You can open this directly in your browser (replace INSTANCE with your instance name):

https://INSTANCE.service-now.com/sys_store_app_list.do?sysparm_query=active=true^update_available=true^hide_on_ui=false

Tip:

Make sure ‘Hidden on UI = false’ is included — this ensures that only customer-facing plugin updates appear in your list.

After I've installed all available customer-facing updates, is there any cause for concern if some hidden plugins/apps still have updates available?
