# Playbooks

The Playbook templates list has a record of Approval Playbook for Now Assist approvals and Asset lifecycle playbook templates.

The Now Assist approval is a workflow that facilitates the AI asset approval process.

The AI asset lifecyle is completed by the following steps:

-   Onboarding
-   Assess
-   Build and test
-   Deploy

You can create your own playbook workflow by customizing the number of steps or rearranging them, as well as applying different security policies.

**Note:** To retire an asset, offboarding process is initiated.
