You can change the UI Builder workspace experience settings to fit
your company goals.

By changing the experience settings, you can affect how your users interact with your
workspace experience, how your workspace looks, and how users navigate to and around your
workspace.

Before you can edit the experience settings, you must be in the correct application scope. If
you're in a different scope, the experience settings are read-only. To change your application
scope, go to the main header, select the application picker (![Application picker.]()), and then select the application scope that you want. For more information about the
application scope, see [Learn about security and roles](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nq2SVpZbgN_ULCqGmLGRuQ "Set up the security and roles for your UI Builder instance.").  
Learn how you can change these workspace experience settings:

* Change or add the [workspace general settings](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/F9ooBaOP2jTyp_a5A3jnaw "Change the general settings for your workspace experience in UI Builder to fit the needs of your organization. For example, you can modify the title, description, and path for your workspace experience.") for your workspace experience. For example, you can change the title, the description, and the path of the workspace.
* [View the brand and theme setting in your workspace experience](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/PxmhEoSi07Sk_bM8QKrAMQ "View the theme setting for your workspace experience in UI Builder. The theme sets the visual style of the experience and provides a consistent look and feel across all pages.") to see the theme currently assigned to your experience. The theme sets the look and feel of the experience.
* Change the [workspace side navigation settings](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/LD0yUBlX_IRkGX48_8k0DA "Select pages for side navigation in your UI Builder workspace experience. From any page in the workspace experience, users can navigate to the pages you selected.") to add pages to the side navigation in your workspace experience.
* Modify the [workspace utility settings](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/VFyTSeyynm4Syl9MR6D3xQ "Set up the advanced notification and search settings in your workspace experience so that you can control how your users see notifications and search options.") to turn on or turn off notifications for your workspace experience. Also, you can change the global search settings for your workspace experience. For example, you can choose to show or hide the search bar in your workspace experience or change the search source that determines where the search results come from.
