Show full answer Show less ## Upgrade Preparations Before upgrading to the Australia release, customers should review and complete any pre- and post-upgrade tasks as recommended. Throughout both Zurich and Australia releases, no specific updates, changes, or removals to Lux were recorded. This means customers can expect stability and continuity in Lux functionality when upgrading between these versions. ## Activation and Requirements Lux installation is streamlined and requires no manual activation. It is automatically installed on instances running Australia Patch 5 or later, or Zurich Patch 12 or later. There are no additional requirements, browser compatibility changes, or localization considerations introduced between Zurich and Australia for Lux. ## Key Features and Enhancements Across both Zurich and Australia releases, Lux continues to enable development of widget-based UI experiences directly on your ServiceNow instance using Lit components for pages and widgets. Key capabilities include: * Server-side rendering of pages with HTML streamed to the browser and hydrated into interactive single-page applications. * Fully rendered initial page load with markup optimized for assistive technologies and search engines. * Server-side data fetching through loaders running near your instance to enhance performance and security. * File-based routing by mapping the pages directory to URLs for intuitive navigation and development. * Automatic inheritance of the ServiceNow design system via Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI styling. * State and data sharing across widgets using the Context API and across pages with layout data. * Deployment of scoped applications on your own schedule using the ServiceNow SDK. These features facilitate modern, accessible, high-performance UI development tailored to ServiceNow environments. ## Documentation and Support Further details and guidance are available in the Lux documentation under the Lux Development section. This resource helps customers leverage the full capabilities of Lux for building and deploying custom UI components efficiently.
