Customized OutSystems Now
Can I still customize OutSystems Now?
This version of OutSystems Now is a developer tool and cannot be customized. The old version of OutSystems Now,  although deprecated, will remain open source. Note that as it is deprecated, it is no longer supported by OutSystems. No new features or bug fixes will be added to it. The technical support team will reply to your support requests with advice and workarounds. If you still want to customize the old version of OutSystems Now, you can access it on GitHub for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile versions.
I have already customized OutSystems Now to create my own app. What will happen to my customized app?
You can continue using your customized app. However, we will not upgrade the open source code. This means that security improvements or Cordova updates will not be included in the open source version of OutSystems Now.
OutSystems Now Modules
Can I still download the OutSystems Now component from Forge?
Yes, you can still download the OutSystems Now component from Forge.
I can no longer edit the OutSystems Now modules in Service Studio. Why?
With OutSystems 10, OutSystems Now is part of the extended product. It is included in the development lifecycle.

To ensure that we provide our users with the best experience, we’ve closed the modules. You can clone them and edit at your will if you use a customized app based on the previous version of OutSystems Now.
