This article helps you locate the Playbooks feature inside Search Atlas when you cannot find it through your usual navigation path. Because the interface continues to evolve, some menu labels and panel layouts may differ slightly from what you have seen in older guides.
🛠️ Step-by-Step
- Log in to your Search Atlas account and make sure you are inside the correct project or workspace — if you have multiple projects, try switching between them, as the option may appear in one project but not another.
- Look for a Playbooks label or icon in your main navigation. Depending on your account tier and any recent UI updates, this entry point may appear in a different section than you expect — check all primary navigation panels before assuming the feature is missing.
- If you do not see Playbooks anywhere in the current view, scroll through all available sections of the left-hand or top navigation to ensure you have not overlooked it under a different grouping.
- If the section still does not appear, your current plan may not include Playbooks, or the feature may need to be activated by your account admin — check with whoever manages your Search Atlas account to confirm your plan includes access.
- Clear your browser cache and perform a hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac), then repeat the steps above — stale cache can sometimes hide newly released navigation items.
✅ How to Confirm It Worked
- You should be able to see a Playbooks section that lists any existing playbooks or presents a prompt to create your first one — this confirms the feature is accessible on your account.
- If you successfully open a Playbook, verify that you can view its steps or settings without being redirected back to another area — consistent access means the navigation issue is resolved.
- If the section still does not appear after completing every step above, please reach out to our support team with your account email, project name, and a screenshot of your current navigation menu so we can identify the correct path for your specific account setup.
