# ServiceNow Studio for ServiceNow IDE developers

# ServiceNow Studio for ServiceNow IDE developers {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 8, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Use ServiceNow IDE capabilities within ServiceNow Studio to build apps in source code. The Explorer tab in ServiceNow Studio consolidates all IDE features.

To create apps in ServiceNow Studio, you use ServiceNow Fluent, a domain-specific programming language, to define the metadata that makes up applications. ServiceNow Fluent includes APIs for defining the different types of metadata. For more information, see [ServiceNow Fluent](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/K9rGEJzo3JT_yp93OHgmTQ "Define application metadata in source code using the ServiceNow Fluent domain-specific programming language.").

## Workspaces {#qs-sn-studio-for-ide-developers__id_udp_hlk_jkc}

The concept of workspaces is a bit different in ServiceNow Studio than in ServiceNow IDE. In the ServiceNow IDE, you can add any applications that you're working on to a workspace to navigate through them all from one place. 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.

In ServiceNow Studio, the Explorer tab acts as a single, persistent workspace, where you can add any application that has been converted to Fluent. For that reason, workspaces don't need to be
created in ServiceNow Studio to create or group applications.

## What is ServiceNow Fluent source control? {#qs-sn-studio-for-ide-developers__section_okl_4lk_jkc}

Use ServiceNow Fluent source control in ServiceNow Studio to track work on apps built in source code and converted to Fluent.  
Important:  
Only admins can work on Fluent apps. Do not convert the app if you want delegated developers to continue working on the application.

For more information, see [Building apps in source code in ServiceNow Studio](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/A~3TQRhxuypRFDpOPC6Y9g "Developing and maintaining applications in source code enables you to create and modify complex applications, manage code in source control more easily, and catch errors at build time.") and [Fluent source control in ServiceNow Studio](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/pd9E0YCQAKz_u_oNmwaV6w "Connect to remote Git repositories to track and manage Fluent applications in ServiceNow Studio.").
