When you open a playlist, you land on the Edit Playlist page. This is where you control what plays, when it plays, and how it looks on your displays. The page is organised into a player bar at the top and four tabs below: Content, Overlays, Analytics, and Settings.

The Player Bar

The player bar runs across the full width of the page and shows the current state of your playlist at a glance. It displays the playing status (Playing or Paused), how many displays are connected to this playlist, the number of active items, the total loop duration, and the sequence mode (Sequential or Random). The NOW PLAYING section shows what is currently on screen.

Previewing a Playlist

Click Preview at the top right of the page to open a preview of your playlist in a modal window.

Jump Live

Each content item in the queue has a Jump Live button. Clicking it immediately brings that item to the front of playback on all connected displays. The button turns red when that item is currently live.

Managing Content Items

The Content tab shows all items in your playlist queue. The item currently playing has a red bar on its left edge. Each item row gives you the following controls:

  • Drag handle - on the far left. Drag up or down to reorder items.
  • Active toggle - switch an item on or off without removing it. Inactive items stay in the queue but are skipped during playback.
  • Jump Live - brings this item immediately to the front of playback.
  • Pencil icon - edit the item's details.
  • Delete icon - remove the item. A confirmation prompt appears before removal.

To add new items, click + Add Content. See Adding Content to a Playlist for details.

Push Overrides

The Add Override button (lightning bolt icon) lets you push a single piece of content immediately to the front of your playlist, interrupting normal rotation. See Push Overrides for details.

The Overlays Tab

Overlays require a paid plan - see Plans and feature availability for details.

The Overlays tab lets you add a logo, clock, or widget that floats over your playlist content. See Overlays for details on adding and managing overlays.

The Analytics Tab

The Analytics tab shows playback data for this playlist - impressions, completions, and total display time, broken down by content item and by display. Use the time period tabs to switch between 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d, and 180d views. Longer periods are available depending on your plan.

The Settings Tab

The Settings tab lets you update the following options. Click Save Settings when done.

  • Playlist Title - rename the playlist.
  • Sequence Mode - Sequential (items play in order) or Random.
  • Default Duration - the fallback duration in seconds for items without a set duration.
  • Display Rotation - rotate content on your display: 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°.
  • Fade Transitions - enable a fade between items.

See Playlist Settings for more detail.
