Hello @Ankit Kumar6 ,

Yes, you can edit Guided Self Service in ServiceNow, though some changes depend on the OOB options or minor customizations.

1) Make responses expanded by default:

  • In the GSS Designer, open the specific question or step. Some widgets let you set the default state to expanded.

  • If the option isn’t available, you’ll need a small client script or UI script to automatically expand the response when the page loads.

2) Change the label/text of the Continue button:

  • Open the step in the GSS Designer that displays the button. Check if there’s a label or text property you can edit.

  • If not, you can override it using a client script tied to the widget.

Tips:

  • Test changes in a sub-production instance first.

  • Avoid modifying system scripts directly; use scripts or widget options to stay upgrade-safe.

So, with a combination of step properties and small scripts, you can achieve both expanding responses by default and updating the Continue button label.

Thanks.
