Switch Presentations/Change Layouts

In BrightAuthor:connected, you can use the Switch to Presentation command to switch from one presentation to another to change the zone layout without manually republishing the presentation. All presentations must use the same resolution, otherwise the player will need to reboot to change its resolution. To do this:

4. Go to Presentation Settings > Support Content > Switch Presentations. Select the plus sign to add a presentation (see Image 1).

5. Enter the Presentation Name (this can be different from its saved project name).

6. In the center panel, select the event on which you want to switch presentations. Go to Event Properties > Advanced. In Image 2, a BP200 event is the trigger to switch from one presentation to another.

7. Select Add Command and select Other as the Command and Switch to Presentation as the Command Parameter.

8. Use the Specify a Presentation drop down list to select the presentation you wish to switch to, or select Specify via user variable to use the value of a user variable to determine the presentation. 

You can use the Switch to Presentation command to link together as many presentations as needed. All presentations added to the Switch Presentations tab under Support Content will publish with the master presentation.
