# Manage multilevel playlists

As an IXM One admin, you can create multilevel playlists that are set up per screen and can inherit content within a location.

## Access multilevel playlists

To access multilevel playlists, open the [**Screen playlists**](/grassfish/docs/playlists) pane to access locations and their players:

- Use the drop-down menu at the top of the pane to select individual screen playlists.
- Use the search field to find individual players or locations.

Multilevel playlists contain assigned and inherited content, which you can access in different content panels:

- **Inherited content**: Content that has been inherited from a higher location level.
- **Content of playlist**: Content that was uploaded by the location user.

## Assign content across locations

To assign content for multilevel playlists from one location to another, perform the following steps:

1. In the **Spot groups** pane, click ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e2b87f73-d9f5-43cb-8182-2641762664fd/Images/Documentation/use-multilevel-playlists-image-x5c00f7s.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T20%3A17%3A41Z&se=2026-11-06T21%3A17%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=XSK0dz2pheR%2BAQINnlxcG72Nb%2FPYgJqRz8MQTiqmFMA%3D) **Extend**. This opens a second spot groups window.
2. To assign content from one location to another location, click **Change**. You can now switch between the individual locations.
