Open in Studio (Legacy)

Unlock Faster Development with the Open in Studio (Legacy) tool

Elevate your ServiceNow development workflow with our innovative Open in Studio (Legacy) UI Action—a seamless addition to your toolkit that empowers admins to dive straight into application editing from any form or list view. Say goodbye to cumbersome navigation and hello to instant productivity, ensuring your custom applications are always just one click away from refinement in Studio.


This is similar to the Open in ServiceNow Studio tool, but will open your application in the legacy ServiceNow Studio.


User Guide


The Open in Studio (Legacy) UI Action provides a convenient button on forms and a context menu option on lists, allowing authorized developers to quickly open a selected application directly in ServiceNow Studio. This feature streamlines the editing process for custom applications, reducing time spent switching between views.


How to Use:

From a Form View

  1. Navigate to the form view of the desired application record (e.g., in the Custom Applications table).

  2. Look for the Open in Studio (Legacy) (ASI) button in the form header, typically located alongside options like "Update" and "Delete", or above the Related Links section.
