Helpful information

Reorder with Up/Down. Notes and Info help organize content. Edit text directly, edit an image in Image Editor, or set a dynamic video playback range. Template fields let a content item supply exposed motion-template values. Existing image content is not replaced in place; remove the item and add the new image. Template assignments are shared across collection layouts. To organize the content list, choose New Group in the dock. Right-click an item, choose Move to Group, and select its destination. If multiple items are selected, the move applies to the selection. Right-click a group to expand/collapse or rename it. Delete Group (keep items) removes the organization group while retaining its content items. These content-list groups are distinct from the Dynamic Groups selected in source properties.

If something is wrong

If nothing changes, check the assigned group and currently selected item.
