Create a Manual playlist

<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/%20-ALL-%2300B180" style="float:left"/><br />
A manual playlist allows you to create and manually order a static list of videos. Until the playlist is updated, neither the list of media nor the media order changes after the playlist has been created. 
<br />
﻿
If you are a developer or have developer resources, you can use the [Management API](🔗﻿)  to create a manual playlist.

When updates are made to playlists, there may be up to 3 minutes of caching in JWP's systems before the changes are reflected. Web browsers also cache playlist content and can be cleared.
<br />
Use the following steps to create a manual playlist:
From the <a href="https://dashboard.jwplayer.com/p/playlists" target="_blank"><strong>Playlists</strong></a> page, click **Create Playlist**. A popup window appears.
Click the **Manual** title. The playlist settings page appears.
Click the default name (_Untitled Manual Playlist_) to rename the playlist. Though not required, giving a playlist a unique name allows it to be quickly distinguished from other playlists.
Click **Add Media**. The **Add Media** panel opens.
In the search box, search for media by title, description, or media ID. The list of media appears below the search box.
Sort the results by **Publish Date** or **Title**.
Add media to the playlist: <br /><br />
<details><summary><strong>Adding a Single Media Item</strong></summary>
    <br />
    <ol>
        <li>Hover over the row of the media item.</li>
        <li>Click <strong>Add to Top</strong> or <strong>Add to Bottom</strong>. The panel closes and the item appears in the playlist preview window.</li>
    </ol>
    <br />
</details>
<details><summary><strong>Adding Multiple Media Items</strong></summary>
    <br />
    <ol>
        <li>Hover over the row of each media item.</li>
        <li>Click the checkbox at the beginning of the row.</li>
        <li>Click <strong>Add to Top</strong> or <strong>Add to Bottom</strong>. The panel closes and the item appears in the playlist preview window.</li>
    </ol>
    <br />
</details>
<details><summary><strong>Adding all Media Items in the List</strong></summary>
    <br />
    <ol>
        <li>Click the <strong>Select All</strong> checkbox at the top of the list.</li>
        <li>Click <strong>Add to Top</strong> or <strong>Add to Bottom</strong>. The panel closes and the item appears in the playlist preview window.</li>
    </ol>
    <br />
</details><br />
Drag and drop a media within the playlist preview window to re-order it in the list.

Drag and drop is only possible within the preview window.
(Optional) On the **Playlist Metadata** tab, add metadata for the playlist.
