How playlists work

A playlist is a group of audio tracks you can drop into a portfolio's player. Playlists live in your Library and can be reused across as many portfolios as you like.

Static vs dynamic playlists

When you place a playlist into a portfolio's player, you can leave it as a starting point (the tracks are copied into that player and can be changed and re-ordered locally) or set it to dynamic (the playlist stays in sync with any player or portfolio linking to that playlist).

• Static (starting point): These edits belong to this player in this portfolio only. Edits you make to the playlist later won't propagate. Useful when you want to tailor a playlist for a specific client without disturbing other portfolios.
• Dynamic: Add or reorder tracks in the playlist and every portfolio using it dynamically updates automatically. Useful for a "latest work" reel that you want to keep current everywhere at once.

Data that always propagates

Since tracks are just references to assets in your library, when you update an asset's title or description in your library, those changes propagate to the tracks in every playlist and player that uses it — even on static players. So while the track order and contents of a static player are frozen at the moment you placed the playlist, the track metadata (title, description) stays live.

Switching between static and dynamic

You can flip a player between static and dynamic at any time from the player block's settings panel in the builder. Switching from dynamic to static freezes the current state of the playlist into the player; switching from static to dynamic re-syncs to the playlist's current state.
