# Playlists

Playlists let you group and manage media items (video, audio, or mixed) and control how they’re published, edited, and shared.

### Playlist overview

The **Playlists** view shows all available playlists with key metadata at a glance:

* **ID & Title**
* **Source Project**
* **Number of Elements**
* **Status**
* **Playout IDs**
* **Created on**

Use search and filters to quickly find specific playlists, and sort by creation date or other columns.

### Create a playlist

Click **Create Playlist** to open the creation panel:

* **Basics**
  * Upload a cover image
  * Set **Title**, **Type** (Video / Audio / Mixed)
  * Choose a **Source Project** (optional)
  * Add a **Description** and **Year of Publication**
* **Release**
  * Set **Release Status**
  * Define availability with **Available from** / **Available until**

### Edit playlist content

Open a playlist to manage its elements:

* View **Number of Elements** and total **Duration**
* **Add files**, reorder items, or remove entries
* Changes are reflected immediately in the playlist structure

### Playout & sharing

From the playlist actions, you can:

* Select a **Playout**
* Generate **embed code**, **JS**, or **share links**
* Use the **Default Player** or switch to another playout configuration

This makes it easy to publish playlists across websites, apps, or partner platforms while keeping full control over presentation and availability.

If you want, I can tighten this for in-product tooltips, expand it into full documentation, or adapt the tone for a release note.
