About this task

Add and complete optional playbook activities in a running playbook. This example shows how an optional activity can be added to a playbook. Playbook admins must pre-configure optional activities. You cannot insert an optional activity as the first activity in a stage or between two finished activities. Some optional activities can be added to any stage while others can only be added to a single stage. If optional activities are not configured for a playbook, no optional activities will be available.
