# Application Repository in ServiceNow Studio

# Application Repository in ServiceNow Studio {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated May 28, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Publish custom applications from ServiceNow Studio to the ServiceNow
Application Repository to distribute them to other instances in the organization.

The Application Repository stores and distributes applications between instances within an organization. Each organization can view and manage only its own published applications --- applications published by other organizations
are not visible.

After developing and testing an app in ServiceNow Studio and selecting Deploy, publish the application to the Application Repository to make it available to other instances in the organization. For more information about the publishing process, see [Publish app changes to the Application Repository from ServiceNow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_tKFJcglxomeSpV7MAfKyQ "Publish app changes from ServiceNow Studio to the Application Repository (App Repo) so your updates are available to all instances of your application.").  
Note:  
If your app was created in ServiceNow IDE and converted to Fluent, you must switch from ServiceNow Studio back into the ServiceNow IDE for the publishing and deployment process.

For more information, see [ServiceNow application repository](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/S~qkI6Li8JtSw_8B8LsNHA "After you develop and test a custom application, you can make the application available to company instances by publishing it to the ServiceNow application repository.").
