Tired of the Same Old ServiceNow Scenery? Shake Up Your San Diego Instance!
Let's face it, staring at the same ServiceNow interface day in and day out can be about as exciting as watching paint dry (although, let's be honest, some paint drying videos can be strangely hypnotic). But fear not, fellow citizen developers and admin extraordinaire! The San Diego release brings a breath of fresh air with its Next Experience UI, also known as Polaris.
Now, before you start picturing polar bears managing incidents (adorable, but not quite what we're going for), Polaris offers a sleek, modern interface that's easier on the eyes and even easier to navigate.

But How Do I Get This Fancy New UI, You Ask?
Well, settle in, grab a cup of your favorite caffeinated beverage (because let's face it, sometimes even a snazzy UI can't keep you awake after a long day of wrangling workflows), and follow these simple steps:
Channel Your Inner Jedi Master (or Admin): You'll need to access System Properties. Think of it as the Force – it binds everything in the ServiceNow universe together.
Let There Be Polaris! Search for the magical property called glide.ui.polaris.experience and set it to true. Poof! Your interface should transform before your very eyes (or at least after a quick refresh).
Bonus Tip: Feeling adventurous? Enable the glide.ui.polaris.dark.themes.enabled property for a swanky dark mode experience. ServiceNow by night, anyone?
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Uh Oh, Not Feeling the Polaris Vibes?
No worries! Maybe you're a creature of habit, or perhaps your instance has some customizations that need a little TLC to work with the new UI. The good news is, you can always switch back to the classic UI by setting glide.ui.polaris.experience back to false.
Remember: With great UI power comes great customization responsibility. If you have any custom UI pages or scripts, you might need to adjust them to work seamlessly with Polaris.
