# Playbook for asset attestation

The Create asset attestation playbook provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for creating an asset attestation. This playbook guides you through each stage of the attestation process, starting from filling in the asset attestation details to the completion of attestation.

The Create asset attestation playbook includes multiple lanes on the left-hand pane, each corresponding to the different activities in the asset attestation process. Each lane includes status indicators that display the current state of each activity.

After you mark an activity in a lane as complete, you can move on to the next lane. You can return to the playbook anytime later to finish any pending activities. As you complete each lane, the status updates in the left-hand panel. The final activity in the playbook involves reviewing the attestation schedule details that you provided and marking that activity as complete.

Create a one-time asset attestation or a schedule for recurring attestations to verify if your serialized hardware assets are in use, using the playbook.

Resume work on the incomplete asset attestation activities in the playbook by using the attestation schedule details.
