# Perform playlist actions

You can use multiple tools when working with playlist content in IXM One.

To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Go to **Content > Playlist**.
2. In the playlist pane, select the playlist.
3. In the **Content of playlist** pane, click **Tools** to use the following functions:

| **Shuffle playlist** | Shuffle the spots in a playlist. The playback order is randomized. |
| --- | --- |
| **Remove expired content** | Remove expired content from a playlist. The runtime is set in the playlist-specific spot settings. |
| **Empty playlist** | Remove all spots from a playlist. |
| **Export playlist to excel** | Export the playlist as a CSV file. The file contains a list of all spots and playlist-specific spot settings. |
| **Changelog** | See all changes that have been made to a playlist. - By default, the last ten entries are displayed. - To see logs from a specific time frame, select **Filter entries**. |
| **Find the spot** | Show the selected spot in the pane **Selectable spots**. |
| **Generate playlist** | [Automatically generate a playlist](/grassfish/docs/generate-playlists) by selecting spot groups and specifying how many spots from every spot group to use. |
