In Tolstoy, a Playlist is a powerful organizational tool that allows you to bundle specific videos and images under a single label—such as “New Arrivals,” “How-to Guides,” or “Customer Testimonials.” By grouping your media, you can streamline your workflow and gain precise control over how content appears across your site.
Why Use Playlists?
Enhanced Organization: Easily manage your Library by theme, collection, or marketing campaign.
Granular Display Control: Choose exactly which content appears in your widgets. For example, you can set a product page to only display your “UGC Reviews” playlist while excluding older campaigns.
Effortless Reusability: Once a playlist is created, you can deploy it across multiple onsite layouts without having to rebuild the selection each time.
Automated Updates: For accounts using automated feeds, tagging a new video with a specific playlist label ensures it automatically flows into the correct onsite feed.
How to Sort the Media Sequence in a Playlist
You can manually reorder how your videos and images appear within a playlist to ensure your best content is always front and center. Follow these steps:
Navigate to Website Publishing: From your Home page, click Publish in the left navigation panel and select Website. Locate and click on the Live Project you wish to organize.
Select Your Media: Inside the project editor, click the Media tab. Select the specific Playlist you want to edit, then pick the associated product to view its tagged videos.
Rearrange via Drag-and-Drop: Simply click and hold the video you wish to move, then drag it to its new position in the sequence.
The "Pinned" Status: When you manually relocate a video, it becomes Pinned in that specific spot. You can identify a pinned video by the blue highlighted pin icon.
Note: If you click the icon to Unpin a video, it will automatically return to its original position based on the default sorting rules.
Save and Sync: Click Save. If the project is already published, these changes will reflect on your live website immediately.
Visual Impact: The Spotlight Layout
See the difference a curated sequence makes for your users. By pinning your highest-converting "social proof" videos to the start of the playlist, you create a more engaging first impression.
