USM Anywhere enables you to create and manage playbooks. Playbooks provide you the ability to choose a set of steps that should be taken to respond to alarms generated from either a correlation rule or a custom orchestration rule.

## Playbooks Page Overview

You can view your USM Anywhere playbooks on the Playbooks homepage at Settings > Playbooks. The Playbooks homepage includes the following two tabs:

* **My Playbooks:** This tab displays all of the playbooks that have been created in your instance and includes the Create Playbook button, with which you can create a new playbook. From the My Playbooks tab you can also edit, delete, archive, and clone playbooks.
* **History:** This tab lists all of the playbooks that have been run in your environment. This view also lists the status and owner of each playbook that has been run.

### My Playbooks Tab

The My Playbooks tab shows a complete list of playbooks that have been created in your instance. On this tab you can filter for automated, manual, active, and archived playbooks. Active playbooks are displayed by default, and archived playbooks can only be viewed if the Archived filter is selected. See [Archiving Your Playbooks](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/rules-management/playbooks-archive) for more information.

Users in the Manager role can also create and manage playbooks from the My Playbooks tab. See [Creating a Playbook](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/rules-management/playbooks-creation) for complete instructions to guide you through creating a new playbook.
