Updating a Playbook Template

It is important to note that updating the Playbook Template will not affect any of the work in progress. Therefore, if you are mid-response for a crisis, it is recommended that you communicate the playbook template change to the response team to ensure that everyone is aware of the updated playbook.

This will help responders to stay on track, collaborate effectively, and respond to the crisis in a timely and efficient manner.
