Show full answer Show less ## Upgrade Preparation and Activation * There are no updates, changes, removals, or deprecations for Lux between the Xanadu and Australia releases. * Before upgrading to Australia, customers should complete any pre- and post-upgrade tasks as applicable, although none specific to Lux are indicated. * Activation of Lux is automatic; no manual activation is required if your instance runs Australia Patch 5 or later, or Zurich Patch 12 or later. ## Key Features and Functionality Lux enables building widget-based UI experiences on your ServiceNow instance using modern web components: * Use Lit components for developing pages and widgets. * Pages are server-rendered and streamed as HTML to the browser, which then hydrates them into interactive single-page applications. * Initial page loads show fully rendered content with markup accessible to assistive technologies and search engines. * Data fetching occurs server-side using loaders running near your instance. * File-based routing maps your pages directory to URLs. * Design system styling is inherited automatically via Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI. * Data sharing is supported across widgets (Context API) and across pages (layout data). * Scoped applications built with Lux can be deployed independently on your instance schedule using the ServiceNow SDK. ## Additional Information * No specific browser requirements, accessibility, localization, or highlight considerations have changed across these releases for Lux. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers If your organization is upgrading from Xanadu through to Australia, you can expect a consistent Lux experience with no feature disruptions or required configuration changes. Lux is seamlessly included and activated in supported patch levels, enabling you to leverage modern, accessible, and performant UI development tools out of the box for custom applications.
