The switch is on the playlist’s Actions tab. When disabled, the playlist does not play on any screen.
Everything else stays: its content, its order, its schedule, and its screens. Re-enable it and it resumes exactly as it was.
When to use it
- Seasonal content: a winter rotation can sit disabled through summer rather than being rebuilt each year.
- Something that turned out to be wrong: disabling stops it on every screen at once, which is faster and safer than editing under pressure.
- Anything you are unsure about: disabling is reversible and deleting is not. When tidying up and you cannot remember what a playlist is for, disable it and see whether anyone notices.
Spotting a disabled playlist
The list shows Disabled in its status column, and the playlist’s own page carries a banner on every tab except Actions. That is deliberate: it stops someone editing a playlist for ten minutes before realising why nothing is appearing.
A disabled playlist assigned to screens is the most common reason for content that looks correct and is not playing.
