Cannot Use "Link to Source Control" – Need Alternative Export Method

CHENCHIAHAO

Dear ServiceNow Support Team,

I am currently developing a scoped application in my Personal Developer Instance (PDI). Although I have admin and security_admin roles and have elevated the role properly, the “Link to Source Control” option does not appear in Studio.

I attempted to access sys_properties.list to enable glide.source_control.enabled, but I receive a “Page not found” error.

As a result, I would like to ask:

1. Is Git integration disabled in my instance?
2. If so, what is the recommended way to export or share my application?
- Can I use Update Sets or App Repository as an alternative?
- Or is there a recommended way to manually export application files?

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,
CHIAHAO CHEN
