-When you use the console to turn on rotation, Secrets Manager uses AWS CloudFormation to create resources for rotation. If you create a new rotation function during that process, AWS CloudFormation creates an [`AWS::Serverless::Function`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/sam-resource-function.html) based on the appropriate [Rotation function templates](./reference_available-rotation-templates.html). Then AWS CloudFormation sets the [`RotationSchedule`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-secretsmanager-rotationschedule.html), which sets the rotation function and rotation rules for the secret. You can view the AWS CloudFormation stack by choosing **View stack** in the banner after you turn on automatic rotation.
