Using the Dynamic Playlist
There are two main steps to using these widgets. The first step is to create the dynamic element in the content library so that it can be accessed in any presentation. The second step is to create a presentation and refer to those external elements through the playlist widget.
To do this:
Go to the Content menu and selecting New Component > Dynamic Playlist.
Save your project.
Enter a name for the new playlist and select Create.
Go to your Media folder and pick the media that you want to add to your playlist.
Drag those media files into your sandbox and reorder them as needed. When you are done, select the save icon at the top right.
Go back to the presentation and drag a Dynamic Playlist widget into the sandbox.
With the widget selected, go to the State Properties panel and select the playlist you just created under Source. The presentation will now display this playlist.
