Overview

If you have playlists in a Media Gallery, it may not be intuitive how to edit them - or at least how to get to the page where you can. Here's how.

Only those with instructor roles in Canvas can edit a playlist (Teachers, TAs, Graders, etc.).

Steps to Take

1. If you're not already logged into Canvas:
   1. Go to https://canvas.ucsd.edu.
   2. Enter your Active Directory credentials.
2. Enter the course in which you want to create a playlist.
3. Within the course navigation on the left side of the page, click Media Gallery.
4. Within the Media Gallery, click the Channel Actions icon (it looks like three horizontal lines) and select Edit.
5. Click the Playlists tab near the top of the page.
6. Find the playlist you want to edit and click the pencil icon on its row.

7. Perform your edits. You can do a handful of things, such as:
   1. Change the order of items in the playlist. Click and hold the two horizontal lines on the left side of any entry to drag and drop it wherever you like.
   2. Edit the metadata. You can edit the title, description, and tags.
   3. Add new items to the playlist. In the same way you did when you first created the playlist, you can find items on the left side of the screen and click the + icon next to it to add it to the right side of the screen.
   4. Remove items from the playlist. Click the kebab (3 dots) on the right side of any entry added to the playlist and select Remove.
8. When you're done making your edits, be sure to click Save at the top of the page.
