-A playbook is a predefined set of actions and conditional statements that run in an automated workflow to respond to a certain event or incident type.
+A playbook is a predefined set of actions and conditional statements that run in an automated workflow to respond to a certain event or incident type. Sumo Logic provides hundreds of out-of-the-box playbooks in the **Playbooks** tab of [App Central](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/automation-service-app-central/). These out-of-the-box playbooks can handle many different situations, such as phishing attempts, brute force attacks, ransomware, and many others.
-While [playbooks](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/playbooks/) in the Automation Service UI show the playbooks installed to your environment, the **Playbooks** tab in App Central shows you additional playbooks you can install.
+The out-of-the-box playbooks are templates that you need to configure before they will work in your environment. Look through the playbooks to find ones that could help you. Once you've identified one you'd like to use, follow these steps:
+1. [Install the playbook](#install-an-out-of-the-box-playbook-from-app-central).
+1. [Configure the installed out-of-the-box playbook](#configure-an-out-of-the-box-playbook) to run actions in the integrations you have in your environment.
+ :::note IMPORTANT
+ You must first [install integrations](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/automation-service-app-central/#install-an-integration-from-app-central) and [configure authentication for them](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/configure-authentication-for-integrations/) before you can configure playbooks to use the actions from those integrations.

+## Configure an out-of-the-box playbook
+
+After you install an out-of-the-box playbook from App Central, it appears on the [**Playbooks**](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/playbooks/create-playbooks/#view-playbooks) list. Perform the following steps to configure the out-of-the-box playbook.
+
+1. Select the playbook from the list. In the example below, the *21 - DLP Alert* playbook is selected.
+1. Click the edit button at the bottom of the screen.
+1. Hover your mouse over a node and click the edit button that appears on the node. The **Edit Node** dialog appears.
+1. Note the **Node name**. It should tell you what action you need to connect to. In the following example, the node name is *IP reputation destination address with VirusTotal*. That tells us we need to connect to the *IP Reputation* action in the [VirusTotal integration](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/app-central/integrations/virustotal/) and use the *destination address*.
+1. In the **Integration** field, select the integration. (In our example, select **VirusTotal**.)
+ :::note IMPORTANT
+ You must have [already installed the integration](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/automation-service-app-central/#install-an-integration-from-app-central) and [configured its authentication](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/configure-authentication-for-integrations/) before you can use actions in the integration.
+ :::
+1. In the **Action** field, select the action. (In our example, select **IP Reputation**.)
+1. Fill out other fields as needed. Fields with asterisks are required. (In our example, in the **IP** field select **destinationAddress**).
+1. After you're done configuring the node, toggle **Test Mode** at the top of the dialog to [test the node](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/playbooks/troubleshoot-playbooks/#test-nodes-in-a-playbook).
+1. After you are sure the node works as expected, click **Save**.
+1. Continue configuring nodes until you have configured all the nodes in the playbook.
+1. When done configuring nodes, [test the playbook](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/playbooks/troubleshoot-playbooks/#test-a-playbook) to make sure it works as expected.
+
+:::note ADVISORY
+The out-of-the-box playbooks are merely templates to guide you, and the integrations indicated in their node names may not exist in your environment. Edit the playbook to connect to integrations that you have installed and configured, and change the playbooks as needed.
