New tool: Get Latest Version of ServiceNow Docs Page

ServiceNow Developer Pro-Tips · Aug 14, 2022 · article

Imagine you’re searching for an issue you’re researching in ServiceNow, and the first result you find on Google is a ServiceNow documentation page… from the _Jakarta_ version of ServiceNow. It’s totally out of date.

How do you make sure that you’re getting the _latest_ version of this same page in the documentation?
And what if you want to share the link to the **latest** version of that doc with someone else?
What if, for example, you’re posting to the community forums and you want to make sure that the link you post will _always_ go to the latest version of that doc, even if someone sees the link years later?

With this extension (or bookmarklet script), you can be on any [ServiceNow Docs](https://docs.servicenow.com) page and simply click one button to (1) have the URL of the latest version of that article **copied to your clipboard**, and (2) be **redirected to the latest version** of that page.
The best thing about that generated link is that even if you were to navigate to it again years later, it would _still_ take you to the **latest** version of that page, even if the “latest version” is newer than the version that was the latest when you generated the link!

Check out the [**Tools page**](https://snprotips.com/get-latest-docs-page-version) for the bookmarklet, or [**click here**](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/akkfkhebdndfknieiecnffpidcjhnlee/) to install the Chrome extension from the store for free!
