# Playbook Development Template

Using this Playbook Development Template, you can create your own fully functional Playbooks from your own control and compliance content.

The structure of each Playbook facilitates this simple process. To populate your Playbook, use the "Add Item(s)" and "Delete Item(s)" on the GRC Playbook ribbon to add Subject Areas, Subheadings, and Control Questions/Declarative Control Statements. Name and save your new Playbook. It will include all the GRC Playbook functionality.

Note:  You must first install the GRC Playbook software before you can open and use the encrypted Playbooks.

All Playbooks are encrypted to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your data. The GRC Playbook software automatically generates and applies the password to programmatically unencrypt a Playbook and open it for use.

Save the downloaded Playbooks to a secure location on your system. Open your Playbooks from your secure location. GRC Playbook Limited does not have visibility into any of the data you enter into your downloaded Playbooks.
