You put labels on screens from a screen\u0026rsquo;s Labels tab or from a selection on the\nScreens page, so answering \u0026ldquo;which screens are in Lobby, and what plays on them?\u0026rdquo; meant opening\nscreens until you had the picture.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabels now have a page of their own, in the sidebar between Screens and Playlists. It shows every\nlabel at a glance, with how many screens carry it and how many playlists it plays, and it\u0026rsquo;s also\nwhere you manage them: you can create, rename, and delete labels right there, without starting from\na screen.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"a-page-for-each-label\"\u003eA page for each label\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen a label and it has 3 tabs:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScreens lists the screens with the label. \u0026ldquo;Add screens\u0026rdquo; opens a searchable list of the screens\nthat don\u0026rsquo;t have it yet, and you can remove any screen from the label.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaylists does the same for the playlists assigned to the label, so you can change what a whole\ngroup of screens plays from 1 place.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSettings is where you rename or delete the label.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeleting a label can\u0026rsquo;t take content off your screens by surprise. A label can be what keeps a\nplaylist on dozens of screens, so before you confirm, the dialog tells you what deleting it will do:\nhow many screens will stop playing how many playlists, or that nothing will change on any screen.\nScreens that also get those playlists through another label, or directly, aren\u0026rsquo;t counted, because\nthey keep playing them.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Screens is the only label you can\u0026rsquo;t rename, delete, or add screens to, since every screen has it\nautomatically.
