Configure different playbook settings, such as selecting the activity view and determining activity visibility.
Some of the configuration for a playbook is performed in UI Builder as part of the playbook component configuration.

These settings include selecting the playbook activity view and configuring playbook stage and activity visibility.

| Configure a playbook to use compact mode | Compact mode moves the playbook from a tab in the Workspace to the contextual side panel. Agents can complete playbook activities in the side panel while viewing other tabs in the record page. Users with the system administrator role can configure a playbook to use compact mode in the playbook component configuration in UI Builder. |
| Preview a playbook | Users with the playbook experience admin role [playbook_experience.admin] can preview a playbook in real time within a non-production environment. With this feature, playbook experience administrators can easily see and test different playbook settings. |
| Select a playbook experience | A playbook experience is a defined set of configurations that determines how the system renders a playbook in Workspace. You can use playbook experiences to customize the look and feel of a playbook, map user
actions, and override activities. The Playbook Experience plugin (com.playbook_experience) includes the Global Playbook Experience record, which defines a default playbook configuration. The Playbooks for Customer Service Management plugin (com.sn_csm_playbook) includes the following additional playbook experience records:
Users with the system administrator role can select a playbook experience when adding a playbook to a page in UI Builder. Different playbooks for the same record type can use different playbook experiences. For example, if a complaint case uses two playbooks, each playbook can use a different playbook experience. |
| Set up a record generator for a case type | Create a record for a case type by using a playbook record generator. With a record generator, the system creates a record as the first step in the playbook. |
| Configure an optional activity for a playbook | Configure optional playbook activities so that agents and fulfillers can insert activities during a playbook run. For example, a customer may want to schedule an optional activity such as making an appointment to visit a location. |
