## Design

What makes content readable on a TV, and how to bring designs from other tools into Szenera.

| Page | When you need it |
|---|---|
| [How do you design content that people can read?](/content/design-content) | You want content that people notice and understand in a few seconds. |
| [Work with Canva, PowerPoint, and Google Slides](/content/external-design-tools) | You design in another tool and want to show the result on a display. |

## Library

Everything that appears on a display starts in the library, as a file or as a configured app.

| Page | When you need it |
|---|---|
| [Upload media](/content/upload-media) | You want to add images, videos, or documents: PDF, Word, PowerPoint, or Excel. |
| [File types, sizes, and storage](/content/file-types-and-storage) | A file was rejected, or you want to know how much space you have. |
| [Manage the library: find, check, delete](/content/media-library) | You want to find, rename, or delete files, see where an item is used, or a file shows **Error**. |
| [Folders, tags, and saved filters](/content/folders-tags-filters) | Your library grows, and you want to keep it in order. |
| [Files from OneDrive](/content/onedrive-places) | Your files live in OneDrive, and you want them in Szenera without uploading them again. |

## App contents and data sources

An app content is an app you set up once and use in playlists and scenes. Data sources bring it the news, tables, reviews, dashboards, and warnings it shows.

| Page | When you need it |
|---|---|
| [Create, configure, and maintain app contents](/content/app-contents) | The weather of a branch or a news app should be set up once and then used everywhere. |
| [Where do your apps get their data?](/content/data-sources) | You want to know how a source, a connection, and the page **Data sources** fit together. |
| [Connect Microsoft 365, Google, or Grafana](/content/data-source-connections) | A source needs access to a Microsoft, Google, or Grafana account, or you share a report from Power BI or Looker Studio. |
| [Create a data source and show it in a widget](/content/create-data-source) | A widget should show news, a table, reviews, or a dashboard from another system. |
| [Own warnings and the emergency override](/content/warning-sources) | Your own system should send warnings, or a warning should switch displays to an emergency scene. |
| [Data sources: options, intervals, and states](/content/data-source-reference) | You look up which kinds of sources exist, how often they fetch, or what a state means. |

## Scenes

Scenes combine files, text, and apps on one surface, split into zones.

| Page | When you need it |
|---|---|
| [Create a scene: blank or from a template](/content/create-scene) | You want to start a new scene, blank or from a template. |
| [Place and arrange widgets on the stage](/content/place-widgets) | You add text, images, and widgets and arrange them. |
| [Configure widgets: template, preview, and fields](/content/configure-widgets) | You decide what a widget shows. |

| [Save, publish, versions, and conflicts](/content/save-and-publish) | Your scene is ready for the displays, or a change doesn't appear. |
