Publishing & scheduling

Publish

Publishing a screen writes the current layout, zones, and playlists to the released configuration that players fetch. After a successful publish:

  • The player app periodically checks for updates and downloads the new package.
  • You may see published timestamps on the screen record.

Publishing may require an active subscription on accounts that enforce billing—trial or inactive accounts might see upgrade prompts.

Preview before publish

Preview (where available) shows layout and zone assignments so you can verify before going live.

Bulk publish

When multiple screens are selected, you can publish selected in one action—useful for fleets with the same or similar rollout.

Scheduled publish

Schedule publish lets you pick a date and time for content to go live. This is ideal for campaigns that start at a specific moment.

Scheduled publishing is separate from:

  • Display hours — recurring weekly windows when the screen may show content (see Display hours).

Player refresh

Players do not always update instantly; they poll the service. If changes seem delayed, wait a short period or restart the app on the device.
