Application developers can switch between applications without leaving the Studio environment.

Before you begin

Important: You've landed at the legacy version of Studio, which will be supported until the Australia release in Q1 2026. Try building and editing apps in the new version of ServiceNow Studio instead. For more information, see Building applications with ServiceNow Studio.
Before starting this procedure, you must create at least one custom application with its own application scope.

Role required: admin

About this task

The contextual development environment restricts some changes when the application files belong to another application. Switching to the application that owns the application files ensures that you change the proper application.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > App Options Menu > Switch Applications.
    The system displays the list of applications.
  2. Click the application you want to switch to.
    The system reloads Studio to display the selected application.
