# Runbook and module galleries for Azure Automation

Rather than creating your own runbooks and modules in Azure Automation, you can access scenarios that have already been built by Microsoft and the community.

You can get runbooks from the [Runbook Gallery](#runbooks-in-runbook-gallery) and modules from the [PowerShell Gallery](#modules-in-powerShell-gallery). You can also contribute to the community by sharing scenarios that you develop, see [Adding a runbook to the gallery](automation-runbook-gallery.md#adding-a-runbook-to-the-runbook-gallery)

### Adding a runbook to the runbook gallery

Microsoft encourages you to add runbooks to the PowerShell Gallery that you think would be useful to other customers. You can add a runbook by [uploading it to the PowerShell Gallery](/powershell/gallery/how-to/publishing-packages/publishing-a-package) taking into account the following details.
48-
49-
* You must specify *Windows Azure* for the **Category** and *Automation* for the **Subcategory** for the runbook to be displayed in the wizard.
50-
* The upload must be a single `.ps1` or `.graphrunbook` file. If the runbook requires any modules, child runbooks, or assets, then you should list those items in the description of the submission and in the comments section of the runbook. If you have a scenario requiring multiple runbooks, then upload each separately and list the names of the related runbooks in each of their descriptions. Make sure that you use the same tags so that they show up in the same category. A user will have to read the description to know that other runbooks are required the scenario to work.
51-
* Add the tag "GraphicalPS" if you're publishing a **Graphical runbook** (not a Graphical Workflow).
52-
* Insert either a PowerShell or PowerShell Workflow code snippet into the description using **Insert code section** icon.
53-
* The Summary for the upload is displayed in the Runbook Gallery results so you should provide detailed information that helps a user identify the functionality of the runbook.
54-
* You should assign one to three of the following Tags to the upload. The runbook is listed in the wizard under the categories that match its tags. Any tags not on this list are ignored by the wizard. If you don’t specify any matching tags, the runbook is listed under the Other category.
