# Run Playbooks manually

Click the **Playbooks** button on the dashboard or any incident detail page to trigger a Playbook. A progress modal shows the status of each action as it runs.

## Run on multiple incidents

A Playbook can run on a single incident or multiple incidents at once. This is useful when you want the same response actions applied across different incidents at the same time.

## Permissions

All team members can trigger Playbooks by default. Admins can adjust execution rights as needed.

## Customization

Playbooks run exactly as configured. There is no option to adjust actions at the time of triggering.

## Notifications and logging

Manual Playbook runs are logged in Spike. No notifications are sent to team members when a Playbook is triggered manually.
