The Find & Replace feature allows you to replace existing content you have in your channels or playlists with just a few clicks. There is no longer a need to go digging into your Playlist or Channel to remove your piece of content and then upload a new one in its place, as a few clicks allow you to replace it wherever it is! The tool also lets you know just where your content is located.

Please note that this feature is only compatible with content within the same space in your organization.

Here's how it works:

You will be able to see the Find & Replace option only for items that are already set within a playlist or channel. You can either click the media, app, link or Canvas in a channel or playlist or simply click the item in your media library as well.

You'll then be able to see the Find & Replace button. If the item is not in a playlist or channel, the button will not appear.

Once you select the Find & Replace button, you’ll be able to see in which channels or playlists the piece of content is located. If you don't wish to switch the content or item in all areas it's located, you can select to replace the it in only certain locations.

Click Choose Replacement to begin replacing your piece of content.

Next, simply upload your new media, or select what you already have available in your media library. You can also replace the selected media with different types of content, for example, a link, and app or Canvas slide.

You’ll now see your replacement piece of content and be able to compare the two. Hit Replace to make the change.

Your playlist and channel will now contain the new item with the same display duration settings that were applied to the one that was replaced.
