    About this task

    Add applications you're working on to a workspace so you can access multiple applications. You can create multiple workspaces to group different sets of applications. Workspaces are specific to a user, and applications can be added or removed from a workspace at any time. When you open ServiceNow Studio, the workspace you most recently used opens in the Explorer tab. Workspaces in ServiceNow Studio are based on workspaces in Visual Studio Code. For general information about workspaces, see the Visual Studio Code documentation website.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > App Engine > ServiceNow Studio.
    2. On the Explorer tab, select Create a workspace.
      Tip:
      You can also use the Workspaces: Create a Workspace command from the command palette.
    3. Enter a name for the workspace and press Enter.
    4. Enter a description for the workspace and press Enter.
      The workspace becomes the active workspace.
    5. Optional: Add existing applications to the workspace.
      1. Select Open apps.
      2. Select an application.
        Only applications created in or converted to Fluent can be added. You can add additional applications to a workspace from the main menu or the command palette with the Workspaces: Add Application to Workspace command.

    What to do next

    To switch the active workspace, you can browse and select other workspaces from the ServiceNow Studio home page or from the command palette with the Workspaces: Browse Workspaces command.
