  • Duplicate an existing playbook and make small changes to it, which may be faster than creating an entirely new automated playbook.

    Before you begin

    Because playbooks are based on forms, you should finish building out your app's forms before you start working on automation.

    To copy a playbook, you must be given permission to work on the app.

    Procedure

    1. Go to All > App Engine > Creator Studio to see all the apps on the Creator Studio home page.
    2. Open the app with the playbook you want to copy.
    3. Select to Preview how different forms appear in various experiences, or select the View or Edit button to view or edit the application experience.
      Select different previewing options if you want to make sure that you've selected the correct application and see how it will appear in the following formats:
      • Portal (see a preview of how it'll appear on a desktop website)
      • Now Mobile (see a preview of how it'll appear on a mobile phone or device)
      • Virtual agent (see a representation of how it'll appear on a chatbot interface)
        Note:
        Your organization should have the correct plugins installed to see how the form will appear in Virtual Agent. If you're interested, ask your admin and see Catalog builder preview topic conversation for more information on previewing forms and their catalog items in Virtual Agent.

      The View button displays forms that have been published and doesn't explicitly create a new draft form for development. The Edit button takes you to a development form, for example, a new draft version of a form that's already been published.

    5. Select the playbook that you want to copy from the Automations tab.
