Runbook versions

You can use versioning to create incremental improvements to runbooks and monitor the success of changes. Subject Matter Experts can continuously improve the quality of runbooks by using the comments provided and the available run metrics. As a result, different versions of a runbook are created.

All available runbooks are listed on the Library page. Click the menu overflow icon (the three dots at the end of the row) and then click Preview > Versions to display all the versions of a runbook.

• Draft:

  The Draft version is a work-in-progress runbook. It is marked with a draft flag. A draft runbook is not yet published and does not run in production. It is not visible to any operator. You can run and test the current draft.

• Latest published:

  The latest published version is the version that is running and used by all operators. This is the version that the operations analyst can preview and work with.

• Archived:

  Archived versions are previously used versions. They are not in production and cannot be used by any operations analyst. The metrics of the previous versions help the Subject Matter Expert to monitor continuous improvements of the runbook. You can run archived version to learn why this runbook did not run successfully.
