- Upgrade information
ServiceNow IDE version 3.2.3 is active by default on instances on the Australia release. Update to ServiceNow IDE version 4.0 or later to use the latest features. For information about updating ServiceNow IDE, see Install or update the ServiceNow IDE.
- Additional requirements
ServiceNow IDE uses the public npm registry (https://registry.npmjs.org) as its default package source. If your network blocks access to this registry, you must have access to an alternate registry to download packages and build applications in the ServiceNow IDE. If access to the public npm registry is blocked on your system, you must configure a private npm registry in your Package Manager user settings in the ServiceNow IDE. For more information, see Install an npm package from a private registry with the ServiceNow IDE.
Accessibility and localization
- Localization information
The ServiceNow IDE is localized in all supported left-to-right languages and reflects the language preference selected by users for the instance. For information about how to activate a language on an instance, see Activate a language.
