    Key Features and Changes

    • Granular Configuration Admin Roles (Zurich): New granular admin roles were introduced to enable developers to perform specific administrative configuration tasks without needing full admin privileges, enhancing security and delegation capabilities.
    • Separation of App Engine Management Center (AEMC) Release Notes: AEMC release notes are now published separately from App Engine Studio. AEMC manages app development across App Engine Studio, Creator Studio, and ServiceNow Studio, so refer to its dedicated notes for related updates.

    Deprecations and Removals

    • Deprecated Roles (Zurich): The uibuilderadmin role was removed from the AES Portal UI Template plugin in Zurich; however, admin and delegated developer roles continue to have access to this plugin.
    • Deprecated Flow Templates (Australia): Several Integration Hub flow templates are being deprecated in Australia. Customers should review related impact and alternatives for workflows that depend on these templates.
    • No Feature Removals: There were no feature removals in either Zurich or Australia releases.

    Upgrade Preparation and Activation

    • Before upgrading to Australia, review and complete recommended pre- and post-upgrade tasks to ensure a smooth transition.
    • App Engine Studio installation remains consistent: it must be requested from the ServiceNow Store in both Zurich and Australia releases.

    Additional Notes

    • No updates were made regarding browser requirements, accessibility, localization, or additional technical requirements between Zurich and Australia releases.
    • For any cross-family updates not applicable to a release, notes indicate "No updates for this release" to provide clarity.

    This information equips ServiceNow customers with the essential details to manage App Engine Studio upgrades efficiently, understand role changes, and anticipate deprecated components to maintain effective app development workflows.
