ServiceNow Studio improves upon the functions of several other tools that you may have used to develop apps on the ServiceNow AI Platform. If you previously used Guided Application Creator or the legacy Studio product to create apps, try using ServiceNow Studio to continue your app development process.
Upgraded features

Once your app is ready to go live, you can effortlessly manage your deployments using any of the app life cycle options ServiceNow offers, such as pipelines or update sets. ServiceNow Studio also offers native support for Now Assist, giving you the ability to leverage the latest GenAI capabilities ServiceNow offers along with innovative low-code tools.
ServiceNow Studio and changed functionality
Some aspects of the upgraded ServiceNow Studio behave differently than legacy Studio. In the record for each app created on the ServiceNow AI Platform, there is an option to allow the app to be edited in legacy Studio. However, this option does not apply to the new ServiceNow Studio. Any global, scoped, or custom app you have permission to edit can be edited in ServiceNow Studio.
The Can Edit Application in Studio option on each app record does not apply to the new ServiceNow Studio.
Using ServiceNow Studio with Guided Application Creator (GAC) roles
When you start using ServiceNow Studio, some features become available only after you create a scoped application. If you're new to using ServiceNow Studio, you may notice that the Search bar and aren’t visible initially. This is expected behavior in ServiceNow Studio.
To get started, select Create and continue creating your scoped app. On the App details page for the new application, you can create metadata (or application files) by selecting Create. The Create file page opens, and you can then create any file type you need and associate it to your app.
After you have created your application, return to the ServiceNow Studio home page, and refresh the browser window. You can now use the Search bar and features during your scoped application development. For more information about roles, see Assign a role to a user.
