Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Now Assist Panel Enhancements (Zurich and Australia):** The Now Assist panel evolved from a fixed to a floating, drag-enabled interface, improving layout flexibility and workflow visibility. It provides AI-driven conversational help directly within UI Builder, enabling you to add components, bind data, adjust layouts, and receive page insights such as component counts and data resource information. * **Component Development and Testing (Zurich):** You can now build and customize components for reuse across pages and experiences. The addition of test values in Component Builder allows simulation of page parameters to preview and validate component behavior during development. * **Generative AI Integration (Zurich):** Easily incorporate generative AI capabilities into pages, components, or controllers to enhance functionality and user experience. * **UI Interaction Improvements (Australia):** The UI interaction diagram editor now supports in-place editing, enabling you to insert new steps, add If/Else logic or branches, swap events, and delete downstream steps without rebuilding entire flows. * **Event-Driven UI Interactions (Australia):** Define reusable UI interactions triggered by user or system events that can be applied across multiple pages and experiences. This approach centralizes logic, reduces scripting complexity, and replaces earlier declarative actions with a more streamlined, reusable event mapping system. * **Page Management Enhancements (Zurich and Australia):** The Create a page wizard now includes a page Type dropdown for better identification and filtering. The Experience view offers improved usability with collapsible pages and variants, enhanced search, and pagination. Importantly, pages can be shared and reused across different experiences and workspaces, saving time and simplifying maintenance. * **Alerts and Component Tracking (Zurich):** You can configure alerts to auto-dismiss globally or per event and add events to track components with unsaved changes, enhancing user awareness and workflow efficiency. ## Changes * The Now Assist panel transitioned to a floating design to improve workspace flexibility. * The Experience view was enhanced for better page organization and navigation, including search and pagination features. * Page sharing across experiences was introduced to streamline content reuse without context switching or rebuilding. ## Activation and Requirements * UI Builder is active by default across releases and can be updated by downloading the latest version from the ServiceNow Store. * Internet Explorer is not supported for UI Builder in Zurich and Australia releases. ## Accessibility and Localization * Expanded drop-down menus for column properties are compatible with screen readers, improving accessibility for users relying on assistive technologies. * No new localization updates were introduced in these releases. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers Upgrading to the Australia release equips you with enhanced UI Builder capabilities that simplify building, testing, and managing UI components and pages. The introduction of reusable, event-driven UI interactions reduces development complexity and maintenance overhead. AI-assisted tools like Now Assist accelerate development workflows and provide real-time guidance. Additionally, improved page management and sharing features facilitate scalable experience design across workspaces. These improvements collectively enable your organization to deliver richer, more dynamic user interfaces with greater efficiency and consistency, aligning with best practices for modern low-code development on the ServiceNow platform.

[Create event-driven UI interactions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=uib-ui-interactions&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Trigger UI interactions directly from events in UI Builder, allowing you to link event-driven behavior to reusable interaction logic with the following benefits: * Define an interaction once and apply it across multiple events and pages so UI components such as modals don't have to be associated directly with the page anymore. * Connect events to interactions without additional scripting. * Centralize logic for consistent updates and fewer errors. * Previously, Declarative Actions using UXF Client Actions required manual wiring on each page leading to complexity and upgrade risks. UI Interactions replace this with reusable, declarative event mapping. | [ ] ## Changes Between your current release family and Australia, some changes were made to existing UI Builder features. {#dfrn3-uibuilder-summary__entry__18} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | [Use the floating Now Assist panel to streamline your workflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=uib-now-assist-panel&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : As of UI Builder version 28.2, the fixed Now Assist panel has been replaced with a drag-enabled floating panel improving layout flexibility and workflow visibility.
