# Configuring Workflow Studio

Enable access to Workflow Studio and allow management of workflow applications.

The Workflow Studio application is a ServiceNow AI Platform feature that is active by default, and that is also available for installation and update from the ServiceNow Store.

Each workflow application within Workflow Studio has its own installation and subscription requirements.

    Playbooks are included with Workflow Studio, which is a ServiceNow AI Platform feature that is active by default, and that is available for installation and update from the ServiceNow Store. However, you can only trigger playbooks off of platform and application tables that you have access to.

-   **Actions**

    Actions are included with Workflow Studio, which is a ServiceNow AI Platform feature that is active by default, and that is available for installation and update from the ServiceNow Store.

Workflow Studio is automatically installed on your instance. However, Workflow Studio is a ServiceNow Store application, so to get the latest features, you must update your version manually to the most recent version.
