+# Open Same Record in Another Instance (Browser Bookmarklet)
+
+## Description
+This bookmarklet allows ServiceNow developers, admins, or QA testers to **quickly open the same record in another instance** (e.g., DEV → TEST → UAT → PROD) without manually searching for the record or typing the URL.  
+
+It is especially useful for:
+- Comparing records across environments
+- Testing configuration changes
+- Debugging workflows or UI policies across instances
+
+Instead of typing the target instance every time, it provides **clickable buttons** for your predefined instances.
+
+---
+
+## Features
+- Detects current instance automatically
+- Opens the same record in a **new tab**
+- Pop-up overlay with buttons for predefined target instances
+- Toggleable: overlay disappears after selecting or closing
+- Fully client-side — works on any ServiceNow record page
+
+---
+
+## How to use
+
+1. Create a new bookmark in your browser.  
+2. Name it: `Open in Another Instance`  
+3. In the URL field, paste the bookmarklet code present in [Open Record in Another Instance](./Open%20record%20in%20another%20instance/Open%20record%20in%20another%20instance.js)
+4. **Important** In the script, update the instance names with your instances.
+   For example purpose ["dev12345","test12345","uat12345","prod12345"] are added in the code.
+5. Now open any record in any ServiceNow instance and click on the bookmark and select the instance to open.
+
+Note : Please be noted that this will work for all the ServiceNow instances with URL like https://xxxx.service-now.com
+For custom URLs, you need to tweak the code slightly as required.
