# Create versioned playlists

If you create multiple versions of playlists in IXM One, you can prioritize them and create event-based playlists.

### Prerequisites

Before you create a playlist with versioning, ensure that you know the following requirements:

- You can only configure versioning when you create a new playlist. You can't change it in an existing playlist.
- The playlist release date applies to all spots in the playlist, regardless of the spot settings.
- Screen playlists intended to be edited by location users are saved without versioning.

## Enable versioning

To enable versioning and enable a release process, perform the following steps:

1. Go to **Channels > Program scheme**.
2. In the **Available playlists** pane, click on **New**.
3. In the **Create playlist** window, select one of the following options:

| **Without versioning** | Select to disable creating versions of this playlist. If you drag spots into this playlist and they're assigned to an active program scheme, the content is immediately transferred and played. |
| --- | --- |
| **With versioning** | Select to enable creating new versions of this playlist. |
| **With release** | Select to enable a release process where authorized users check the playlist before releasing it. At least one user group must have reading and writing rights for the playlist. |
4. Click **Save** to save your changes.

## Create a new version

To create a new version of a playlist, perform the following steps:

1. Go to **Content > Playlist**.
2. Select the playlist that you want to create a new version of.
3. Click **+** **Creation of a new version of the playlist**.
4. Specify a start date and time.
5. Select player time or a time zone. The start time must not be 24 hours before or after the start time of another playlist version if it has a different time zone.
6. Click **Save** to save your changes.

You can now see the original version of the playlist with date and time and all new versions with the date and time you just specified.
