# Sub-playlists

Add one or more playlists to another playlist and manage the playout behavior. In some cases this can make scheduling more efficient.

1. Create or select a playlist.
2. Choose 'Playlists' at the top of the side panel.
3. Search for a playlist. Filter by playlist orientation.
4. Drag one or more playlists from the side panel:

The playlist being edited will be greyed out to prevent adding a playlist into itself.

## Playlist Behavior

By default a sub-playlist will play one item, in sequence, on each loop of the main playlist. To change this behavior:

1. Edit a sub-playlist: ![edit_button](https://cdn.document360.io/b18b81f9-f0ab-453e-8933-1b71091f98f7/Images/Documentation/edit_button.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T18%3A28%3A27Z&se=2026-11-12T19%3A28%3A27Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=tNQLqd0U3b6zrN3BlWyYOFn1iTQGNS3Z48tgaw8o22w%3D)
2. Select 'Playlist'
3. Preview the sub-playlist.
4. Select the playlist behaviour:
  1. Play all items on each loop of the playlist.
  2. Play a set number of items on each loop of the playlist.
  3. Shuffle items.
5. [If it’s a share of voice playlist, set share of voice settings.](/dise/docs/share-of-voice)
6. Click 'Save':

When shuffling, the sub-playlist won't repeat an item until all items have played; making it impossible for the same item to play multiple times in a row.
