# ServiceNow Studio for AES developers

# ServiceNow Studio for App Engine Studio (AES) developers {#ariaid-title1}

As a current App Engine Studio developer, you can take advantage of new development capabilities in ServiceNow Studio while keeping many of the best features of AES.

ServiceNow Studio is set up a bit differently than App Engine Studio, so use the following information to find your favorite features from App Engine Studio.

## Similar functionality {#servicenow-studio-for-aes-developers__section_f5m_2mr_vgc}

Several key features from AES look and behave very similarly in ServiceNow Studio. For example, the app creation path, integrating with source control, and the collaboration functions should all look familiar.  
For more information, see the following topics.

After creating the foundations of your app, you can add data, automation, or many other types of app files using integrated development tools and builders in ServiceNow Studio.")

## My apps {#servicenow-studio-for-aes-developers__section_fcz_xwd_1fc}

When you first open ServiceNow Studio, you likely won't see all of the apps you're used to working on. But, all you have to do is open them in ServiceNow Studio using the Navigator panel Apps section, filtered for custom apps.

The best way to access frequently used apps, app files, and full lists is to bookmark them. For more information, see [Bookmark apps and files in ServiceNow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/oYc0nTDCzMwgyi1QJ1ciVw "Easily bookmark apps and app files from several locations for quick access in ServiceNow Studio.") and [Bookmark lists in ServiceNow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CQp7C~1avOB1vXMVBxu_mg "Enable easy access to your favorite lists by bookmarking them in ServiceNow Studio.").

## File types {#servicenow-studio-for-aes-developers__section_zq2_2mr_vgc}

In AES, there are options to create four categories of files, or metadata: Data, experiences, logic and automation, and security.

In ServiceNow Studio, you can create many different types of files, including the four categories you've seen in AES. In contrast to AES, where you have to be in an app to create a file, you can create files right from the home page of ServiceNow Studio and specify the application afterward. You can also select Add next to any category on an application's App details page to add a file of that type.

App files define aspects of how an application functions. For example, you could add a business rule to your application to perform server-side actions when a record is changed in some way. Or, you could add AI files to
automate tasks.  
For more information about the types of files you can add in ServiceNow Studio and how to work with them, see the following topics.

* [Create an app file in ServiceNow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ZjeAwjSz4QBkyWvAtBamKQ "Create an app file to define an aspect of how an application functions. For example, you could add a security file using ServiceNow Studio to define which users can access the app.")
* [Working with metadata app file categories in the ServiceNow Studio Navigator](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ISvTc3qR~HpHCFCSptYAbA "ServiceNow Studio enables you to work with all types of metadata that the ServiceNow AI Platform supports, from automations and integrations to user interface files.")
* [ServiceNow Studio Navigator panel taxonomy](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/N1vi9L_FHMYxp9yZ12uaxQ "Learn more about each metadata file type and its corresponding primary table in the File categories tab of the ServiceNow Studio Navigator panel.")

## Application scope {#servicenow-studio-for-aes-developers__section_y1h_htr_vgc}

Manually switching scope when working on several different applications has been the norm for many ServiceNow app builders. In ServiceNow Studio, the scope automatically updates based on which app you're working in. ServiceNow Studio also groups the integrated tabs based on scope, so you can see which app files are related.  

1. Any file in a scoped app opens in a color-coded tab with information about what kind of file it is. In this instance, the playbook opened in an integrated tab, where you can update it using the Workflow Studio interface.
2. Tabs without colors indicate that the file is in the global scope. You can edit global files in ServiceNow Studio.
3. Any tab that's actively open in the canvas shows a contrasting color to indicate the open state.
4. Tabs that are color-coded and grouped are in the same scope. In this example, both actions are in the same application, so they open in the same color tab.
{#servicenow-studio-for-aes-developers__ol_llp_4l1_scc}

In each application, you can find the scope and update set at the bottom left of the page.

Some builders in ServiceNow Studio override the automatic scope switching feature. For example, if you're using Table Builder to edit a form or table file, you wiIl see a message saying the scope is controlled and indicated by the builder.

For more information, see [Open apps and app files across scopes in ServiceNow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/2FUIr8MQcc2BOuG9QfSAWQ "In ServiceNow Studio, you can open and edit apps and app files in any scope, global or custom. The scope that an app is associated with displays at the bottom of the screen and updates automatically when you switch to an app in a different scope.") and [Access integrated development tools and builders in ServiceNow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9YqNTDZr7K7mdxkMC3_Ubg "ServiceNow Studio contains several robust development tools and builders to help you expedite the app development process. Open and easily switch between tools and builders as you develop your applications.").

## Templates {#servicenow-studio-for-aes-developers__section_acp_51s_vgc}

AES contains a library of application templates that you can use to create apps. Templates are also a great way to find inspiration for functionality you would like in your apps. In ServiceNow Studio, you can find inspiration from the App Gallery. When you select CreateApp, you can choose from several options to get started. On the right side of the page, you will see a link to the app gallery, which contains files for all different kinds of apps and metadata.  
Nota:  
While the App Gallery contains apps and files for inspiration, you cannot create an application from those files as you would a template in AES.
