# Welcome

Blueprints turns your ServiceNow data into something you can actually design against. Define the structural rules once. Pull live records into the **Blueprints canvas**. See what is compliant, fix what is not, and commit the result.

{% hint style="info" %}
Native ServiceNow application. Installs from the ServiceNow Store. No separate infrastructure, your data stays in your ServiceNow instance.
{% endhint %}

## The Blueprints workflow

1. Open **Home** and choose a template.
2. Create a new blueprint from that template.
3. Add elements from the **Data Hub** or plan future-state elements.
4. Review fields, relationships, and compliance issues in the **Data panel**.
5. Use **Save/Update** to store your working blueprint.
6. If your role allows it, use **Commit Changes** to push approved blueprint changes back to ServiceNow.
7. Use **Presenter Mode** or shared links when you want others to review the result without editing it.
