Show full answer Show less ## Key Upgrade Information * **Yokohama:** A new process for assigning groups in the App Engine Management Center (AEMC) requires the same version of the Application Intake plugin to be activated on all instances to ensure consistency. Customers should review the App Readiness and Compliance Report to manage this. * **Zurich \& Australia:** No significant upgrade-specific tasks or changes impacting App Engine Studio were noted. ## New Features * **Yokohama:** Introduction of the App Readiness and Compliance Report in AEMC allows App Engine Admins to run instance scans to identify potential issues that could affect app deployments, ensuring apps are ready for live use. * **Zurich \& Australia:** No new App Engine Studio features were introduced. ## Changes * **Zurich:** Added granular admin roles that enable developers to perform specific administrative configuration tasks without needing full admin privileges, enhancing role-based access control. * **Australia:** No changes to existing App Engine Studio features were reported. * **Note:** App Engine Management Center (AEMC) release notes are now published separately, as AEMC manages app development across multiple studios including App Engine Studio. ## Deprecations and Removals * **Zurich:** The `uibuilderadmin` role was removed from the AES Portal UI Template plugin; however, admin and delegated developer roles retain access. * **Yokohama and Australia:** No features or functionalities were removed or deprecated. ## Activation and Installation Across all releases, App Engine Studio must be installed by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store. Customers should visit the ServiceNow Store to submit requests and view the latest available apps. The activation process remains consistent throughout these releases. ## Other Considerations * No updates were noted regarding additional requirements, browser compatibility, accessibility, or localization for App Engine Studio between Yokohama and Australia releases. * **Australia:** Some Integration Hub flow templates are being deprecated; customers should review this when planning integrations. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers By reviewing these release notes, customers can: * Ensure they apply necessary plugin version consistency for upgrades starting from Yokohama. * Leverage the App Readiness and Compliance Report to validate app deployment readiness and reduce deployment risks. * Utilize granular admin roles introduced in Zurich to better manage permissions and streamline administrative tasks. * Plan for deprecations, such as the removal of the `uibuilderadmin` role and Integration Hub flow template changes in Australia. * Follow clear activation steps via the ServiceNow Store to install or upgrade App Engine Studio.
