![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Set up and monitor playbooks and Playbook Experience.

## Overview {#setting-up-process-automation-designer__section_dhb_jl3_jzb}

1. You don't need to activate the core Workflow Studio Playbooks feature because it is already part of the ServiceNow AI Platform, but many features are only available with application updates from the ServiceNow Store.

   Download the latest updates for Playbooks from the ServiceNow Store. To get started more quickly, we recommend you download the Process Automation Demo Experience, Process Automation Content, and Playbook Experience applications as well.
2. Configure Playbooks user access and properties.
