 To customize a workbook, enter editing mode. Select the **Edit** button in the workbook's menu bar. Curated workbooks use workbook groups extensively. You might need to select **Edit** on several nested groups to view a visualization query.
 
 Save your changes as a new workbook. You can [share](/azure/azure-monitor/visualize/workbooks-overview#access-control) the saved workbook with your team or [deploy them programmatically](/azure/azure-monitor/visualize/workbooks-automate) as part of your organization's resource deployments.
