# Adding Custom Script Step to Plan

For each machine included in a recovery plan, you can add a custom script step to be performed when processing the machine:

1. Navigate to **Recovery Plans**.
2. Select the plan to which you want to add the custom step and click **Manage** > **Edit**. 
3. On the **Edit Plan** page, in the **Recovery plan** column, expand the plan to see all its inventory groups. Then, select the necessary inventory group and click **Step editor**.
4. In the **Step Editor** window, click **Add**, select the custom step that you want to add to the plan and click **Save**.

You can also add a custom step to a specific machine as described in section [Configuring Steps](configuring_steps.md).

After you add the custom step for the machine in the plan, check step parameter settings and modify them if required. For more information, see [Configuring Step Parameters](configuring_step_parameters.md).
