hey [Music] he hey everyone it's Justin thank you for watching and or listening to the podcast and welcome to my house it's time for another service now store highlights video that's SSH version 0722 2024 you can see they're at the top we are 187 new updated or fixed or updated applications in the service now store since the last video this one should have come out on July 19th but I waited till Monday the 22nd because um there was 187 to review and I had a lot going on last week so let's take a look at how it breaks down for this episode there are three downgrades which we'll verify during the episode 90 fixes I'll tell you what's going on there in a second two ghosted applications nine highlights 53 minor updates 15 new releases and 15 release notes fails now let's call your attention to the big guys in the room this 90 fixes and 53 minor Updates this is the episode that comes out before Early Access to uh service now release and I call it the fix episode so this is the fix episode you can see there's over 90 fixes and a bunch of uh minor updates which are usually dependent applications like give you an example app engine Studio usually gets an update but then all the stuff that's dependent on app engine Studio gets versioned at the same time so they get lumped into that 53 um and that's what makes it so uh take so long to go through all this but let's take a look um at how this breaks down with on this screen we'll just cover through these I'm not going to cover the fixes and minor updates those will be on my blog but let's take a look at the downgrades here we had three of them Cloud operations workspace employee travel safety and service now voice UI components all were downgraded from previous versions let's double check them real quick make sure nothing's changed since I crawled the store and got that ready to show you guys here is um actually looks like it did get fixed so 1.5 uh 1.61 was what came out on May 9th and we had 1.5 so that one disappeared and now has reappeared so that is no longer a downgrade so we will um let's go ahead and open that up and fix actually I'm just need to delete that from uh from the episode so that's going to decrease our count from 187 to 186 um okay so we'll go and delete that since that wasn't downgraded hit refresh here all right now I got two downgrades left let's check on employee travel safety um that one is still version behind so 12.2 or 1.2.2 came out on May 9th but we're back to 1.20.1 released on November 3rd so that's still a legit downgrade again that's the employee travel safety and the other one to check here is the service now voice UI components um is still downgraded so we're on version 3.5.0 but 3.5.1 it come out with a fix and it's been taken out taken out of the store so two downgrades in this episode you just saw them we verified them there are 90 fixes and I'll just scroll through you can see it's all service now most of it like 99.99% of it is service now I will have these posted to the blog so go to justin. housee that's https / justin. housee there'll be a blog post corresponding this episode SSH version 0722 2024 and all 90 applications that were fixes will be listed on the blog post with a link to the store so you can check them out uh same thing with the minor updates but we'll get there in a second we did have two ghost applications uh Contender Solutions Elevate predictive Automation and rapd modern Cloud Ops um both of these while they were ghosted you'll see they show up in the new releases as new new applications so it looks like just the old application is out the door the new application is in the door so that one's gone not found anymore and we'll check out this one too that's gone not found anymore but I promise you they're going to show up in the new releases here in a few minutes um minor updates 53 of them again there's my example of all the app engine Studio stuff that's dependent on app engine studio um again all of these will be listed on my blog post and you can click on them with links to the store that's https Justin or https Justin house so check that out and then before we get into the new releases there are 15 release notes fails let's just cover them here real quick again mostly service now who updated their applications but a couple UI Builder components or UI Builder toolkit for props Pane sitemap and API we also had API

management Sam itsm success dashboard indicators net brain automation integration security Center and service graph connector for phosphorus success dashboard core and UI Builder now let's go ahead let's take a look at UI Builder I want to show you what a release noes fail is we'll just open this up and it says na not applicable okay well why' you have version it if it's not appable applicable so it went from 25.25 to 2.2.6 no change in release um but it has na for the release notes so that in my book everybody is a fail the other ones are similar repeated no release notes or na like you saw on that example that's a release notes fails now that brings us to the fun part we have 15 new releases in this episode so let's get started knocking those out first up accounts payable operations
