Version 2 includes the functionality to create and reuse **Playlists!**

[Playlists](https://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/media_playlists.html) are created in the CMS, under the Library section...

...with options to manage automatically and to pre-populate with filtered Library media.

Assign content by adding **Widgets**...

...or uploaded media straight from your **Library**.

Add your created Playlists to Layouts by using the **Sub-Playlists Widget** and simply select the Playlist you wish to assign.

The [Sub-Playlist Widget](https://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/media_module_subplaylist.html) contains arrangement options for when multiple Playlists are assigned. This gives you great flexibility on how you choose to display your content!

For further information and to see all the available functionality, please refer to our [User Manual](https://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/index.html).
