-   **[Associate a topic with a form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-edit-form-settings&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US)**

You can now add a topic to the settings for a form, enabling users to browse forms by their related topics.

-   **[Dynamic behavior for forms](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-dynamic-behavior&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US)**

As of Creator Studio version 26.2.1, you can add dynamic updates to forms and their questions based on how users answer questions. For example, you can define a question to appear based on the answer to another question. See the Accessibility section of these release notes for accessibility details.

-   **[Define custom activities for use in automations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-add-automation&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US)**

As of Creator Studio version 26.2.1, administrators can define custom activities on the ServiceNow AI Platform to use in automations when building apps in Creator Studio.

-   **[Interact with sample records within Creator Studio](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-preview-record&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US)**

As of Creator Studio version 26.2.1, app creators can now see how records generated by Creator Studio apps will appear by previewing and interacting with a sample record on the **Form submissions** tab. Selecting a record in the app's workspace opens it in a new tab within the app in Creator Studio.

-   **[Use questions as process triggers](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-add-trigger-automation&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US)**

You can now select one of the published questions from the app's form as a trigger for its process. For example, if a user selects "blue" as the reply about their favorite color on the app's form, you can specify "blue" as the trigger for an automated process.

-   **[New send email activity in automations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-add-activities-automation&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US)**

When you create a process, you can now have your app's automation automatically send an email when specified conditions are met.

-   **[Add curated questions to a form using question sets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-edit-form&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US)**

When creating forms, developers can now select from preconfigured question sets, enabling them to select curated questions without worrying about the details. Admins create question sets on the ServiceNow AI Platform, and question sets can't be edited in Creator Studio.

Yokohama

</td><td>

-   **[Generate a form from text prompts using the Build with Now Assist tab](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-dynamic-behavior&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**

Enable users to generate forms automatically from text prompts by using the Build with Now Assist dialog box.

-   **[Auto-populate question values on a form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-edit-form&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**

Help users complete forms faster with the new **Add auto-fill** option, which automatically populates answers based on answers to questions that are record choices.

-   **[Use catalog variables in playbook activities and decisions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-add-automation&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**

Playbook activities and decision branches can now be triggered by answers to one or more questions on a form when you configure the conditions.

-   **[Select your development experience](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=crs-choosing-your-experience&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**

Seamlessly change between development environments using the new experience switcher. Depending on the products and versions that are installed and the role you have, you can switch between the following environments:

    -   Creator Studio to get a no-code experience
    -   ServiceNow Studio to get a platform coding experience
    -   ServiceNow IDE to get a pro-code ServiceNow experience

</td></tr><tr><td>

Zurich

</td><td>

-   **[Customizable email notifications](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=crs-admining-notifications&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Promote consistent branding by having admins create custom email notifications and templates, which are sent when users request something from an app or the request was changed or closed. In support, several of the standard email notification activities are now in the public scope, and a new Configure email notifications item is available in Guided Setup.

-   **[New playbook activity to update record fields](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-add-activities-automation&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Enable apps to change several fields automatically on the submitted record using the new Update submission playbook activity. In support, a new Configure playbook activities item is available in Guided Setup.

-   **[New question types for forms](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=creator-studio-form-elements-ref&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Two new question types are available for forms: Duration and Attachment.

    -   Duration enables users to specify a length of time.
    -   Attachment enables users to upload an attachment as a question. The **Attachment** field differs from the **Add attachment** option for the form, because the Attachment question type can be used in dynamic behavior questions.
-   **[Granular configuration admin roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=roles-creator-studio&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Several new granular admin roles enable developers to complete administrative configuration tasks without requiring the full admin role.

-   **[Delete unpublished forms](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=crs-delete-form&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

You can now delete unpublished forms from Creator Studio, which completely removes the record for the form from the ServiceNow AI Platform.

    -   For sighted users, the tag is an icon.
    -   For screen reader users, the corresponding ARIA tags indicate the same information on the focusable element.
-   Navigating between tabs on the app settings modal no longer selects the close \(X\) button.
