Day 4 and we're 1/3 of the way through the series, so I thought: "why not, let's open one of the big presents". Let's talk about tabs. Screen sharing chrome with 30 open tabs is a choice, but I don't judge as there's really no great alternative. We saw this mess and have developed some features to help combat tab sprawl.

 

If you click on your user icon, you can open the ServiceNow Studio settings panel. In there you should find a single toggle: Group tabs by app scope Turning this setting on will take your tab organisation from this:

"But Rob, you've just moved all of my browser tabs into ServiceNow Studio tabs!". Tab sprawl inside ServiceNow Studio can still be a real problem, but bookmarks and recents should help you let go of needing every file open all the time. Focus and organisation is the key to good productivity and we're hoping these features can be the rake to your development environment zen garden.
