Solved: Update apps and plugins efficiently, not one at a time

This is no question, this is a solution!!

(unfortunately, blogs and articles can only be created by a few, so I have to use the question section)

 

One of the biggest annoyances a ServiceNow admin has, is the way that ServiceNow wants you to update Store apps and plugins. More and more of the core functionality is delivered through apps, because it helps to update faster. But when an update comes out, you have to go through them one by one and update everything manually. Just check the posts here or on any other platform where devs are trying to help each other: you won't be the only one with dozens, if not hundreds of apps that are waiting for an update.

 

A new app has been published to the ServiceNow store: WhiteBrick's Store App Update Streamliner. This (FREE) app will enable you to manage the apps and their updates on all your instances from one single instance.

 

- Select one, multiple or all apps and the version you want to update them to

- Prevent PROD to have an newer version than DEV

- Let teams support and maintain their own apps

 

One instance to manage all

One click to update all

 

And did I mention that it is offered for free?

Hi @Mark Manders 

 

Not sure if this is a question or a blog post. If it’s a blog, I’d recommend adding a prefix like 'Blog:' so that readers can easily understand the context and perspective

That's why I started with 'This is not a question'.

But if you prefix blog, that more good, reader first read subject and the details.
