Playlist

Playlists provide a quick and easy way for you to save content that is of interest so you can it take at a later time. By default everyone has a Save for later playlist where they can add items. Your organization may choose to offer you the option to create multiple playlists so you can organize and categorize your content into different playlists. With multiple playlists you have more control to create, edit, remove, and share them.

After you add content to a playlist, you can re-order the items and if enabled for your site, you can share the playlist with colleagues at your company.

You can add any type of content to your Playlist, including channels.
