Playlinks can best be described as a curated selection of assets sent to specific
00:14
recipients who will be able to access those assets for a limited period of time.
00:19
Each time you create a playlink,
00:21
you'll be able to set restrictions and select options for those assets based
00:24
on your specific needs which we will cover in the playlink options tutorial.
00:30
There are two ways to create a new playlink.
00:32
The first way is via the desktop. When inside of a folder,
00:36
once an asset is selected,
00:38
you'll notice that the playlink button appears at the top.
00:41
Clicking that will give you the option to
00:43
create a new playlink containing that access.
00:46
You can also add to existing playlinks, if you wish.
00:53
The second way is to select the playlink icon on the left,
00:57
which will bring up the new playlink button.
01:00
Clicking this button will create a blank playlink
01:03
and you could start adding assets from there.
01:06
Note that the playlink can only contain assets from one folder.
01:10
So if you use the second method, be sure that you've selected the correct folder
01:14
before clicking on the playlink cycle.
01:17
Our next step is to add new assets, which will be covered in the next tutorial.

Our next step is to add new assets, which will be covered in the next tutorial.
To complete the exercise, you will need to have a +Share permission in a folder.
To start the process of making a new playlink, go to the Playlinks tab and then click the Create New Playlink button.
First, you'll populate the Playlink with assets. Select the batch you'd like to choose the assets from and click each one to select it. You can also Shift+click to select several, click and drag from one column to the other, or use the Select All button to get everything from a batch in one go.
This step lets you choose who you'll be distributing your Playlink to. Clicking the + next to the contact's name will add them to the Playlink Participants column.
It's also possible to add and remove entire Teams to and from a Playlink, or just cherry-pick certain members from a selected Team.
Give your Playlink a name, set an expiration date, and allow comments using Playlink options tab.
On the Options tab, click Next to view the Overview, and click the Send button.
