# Ada CLI 1.8.0

This release makes `playbooks create` create an inactive playbook unless you pass `--active`.

## Changes

This section lists what the release adds or changes.

* `playbooks create` makes an inactive playbook by default. An inactive playbook does not run in conversations with end users. Before this release, a playbook created with no state option was active at once. If a script relies on that, add `--active` to the command.
* `playbooks create --inactive` states the default. For example: `adacli <instance> playbooks create --name "Returns" --file steps.json --inactive`. `--active` and `--inactive` cannot be combined.
* When the new playbook is inactive, the command prints how to make it live: `playbooks update <id> --active`.
