## New in the Zurich release {#service-catalog-rn__service-catalog-rn-new-features}

[Create complex catalog items in Catalog Builder](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-client-scripts-in-catalog-builder&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US)

:   Enable catalog item creators to create complex catalog items effortlessly in Catalog Builder.

    They can create, edit, or delete client scripts to build a complex catalog item. Creators can also configure questions, set dynamic and advanced reference qualifiers, and scripted default values.

[Use Catalog browse component](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=catalog-builder&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US)

:   Use the Catalog browse component in UI Builder to add catalog item browsing in your custom pages. Drag it onto the Next Experience UI page to use the Catalog browse component.

    The component enables requesters to explore and request items from various catalogs and categories, providing a hierarchical view to sort by catalog, category, or subcategory. The component provides a grid or list view for
    items and a search function to search for items as needed.

## Changed in this release {#service-catalog-rn__service-catalog-rn-changed-features}

[A property to delete a draft of catalog item](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=save-draft-catalog-item&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US)
:   Use the property glide.sc.delete_draft_item_on_version_change to determine whether to delete a saved draft of a catalog item on its modification.

[Dynamic Lookup Choices and Enhanced Table Sourcing](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_CreateAVariableForACatalogItem&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US)

:   Lookup questions are now more flexible and user-friendly. You can effortlessly display choices directly from a specific table field, offering similar ease for select box configurations. Additionally, create dynamic
    dependent lookups where the choices refresh automatically based on the values selected in other fields on the same form, guiding users to more relevant selections.

[Enhanced Sorting Control for Lookup Fields](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_CreateAVariableForACatalogItem&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US)
:   Customize the display order in lookup select boxes, look up multiple choice, and list collector fields with the new ref_ac_order_by attribute. This attribute enables options to be sorted primarily by a
    specified data column, and then by their display label, providing a more logical and predictable presentation for users.
