# Playbooks

> Ready-made and custom sets of tasks you apply to many X accounts at once, with a preview and a receipt for every X account.

A **playbook** is a saved set of tasks. Apply it to several X accounts and each one gets its own copy of the tasks.

## Start from a template {#start-from-a-template}

X-Buddy includes suggested playbooks. Use **Copy to edit** to make your own version, or **Create playbook** to start empty, then **Add task**. A playbook needs at least one task. Copying a template doesn't run anything.

## Apply to X accounts {#apply-to-x-accounts}

1. Open the playbook and choose the X accounts (or a group).
2. Review the preview for each X account.
3. Apply.

Each X account gets a durable **receipt**: applied, not applied (with the reason), or changed since the preview (the X account changed after you previewed, so it was skipped). Applying the same request twice returns the same receipts instead of adding tasks twice. Recent receipts are listed on the playbook.

## Growth tasks arrive Off {#growth-tasks-arrive-off}

Growth tasks in a playbook are added **Off**: "Growth — added as Off; enable it in the X account’s Automation tab after previewing." See [Growth automations](/docs/en/growth-automations#preview-first).

## Copies, not links {#copies-not-links}

Applying copies the tasks. Editing the playbook later doesn't change X accounts it was already applied to — apply it again, or edit the X account's tasks.
