## Customize workbooks

[Azure Monitor workbooks](/azure/azure-monitor/visualize/workbooks-overview) are very customizable. You can edit the public templates to suit your requirements. All the visualizations are driven by resource-centric [Kusto Query Language](/azure/data-explorer/kusto/query/) queries on the [InsightsMetrics](/azure/azure-monitor/reference/tables/insightsmetrics) table.

To begin customizing a workbook, first enter editing mode. Select the **Edit** button in the menu bar of the workbook. Curated workbooks make extensive use of workbook groups. You may need to select **Edit** on several nested groups before being able 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.
