Playlists update: improved workflow, enhanced flexibility

Update to Playlists for improved workflow and enhanced flexibility

Enhancement:

• Global Playlists is now ‘Playlists’: We’ve renamed Global Playlists to simply, Playlists.
• Playlists have moved in the menu: You’ll now find Playlists between Media and Layouts, which better reflects the typical workflow.
• Publish Playlists directly to devices: No need to create a layout first, you can build your playlist and publish directly via Channels.
• Responsive sizing: Playlist content scales responsively to fill whatever screen size you’re pushing to.
• Mixed schedules: Channels can now include both Layouts (for multi-zone, multi-page and interactive designs) and Playlists (for fullscreen content), giving you more control over how you manage your content.
• Playlist backgrounds render: Playlist background colours and gradients now display on screen, not just in the editor.
• Preview Playlists before you publish: Check how your Playlist looks in your browser before it goes live.

Staying the same:

• You can still add Playlists into Layouts exactly as before.
• Your existing Playlists (ex Global Playlists) carry on as normal.
