We built the Series Settings tool to help you combine your video, audio, and document files together to present your weekly messages online to your congregation and site visitors.

A series is a combination of episodes containing video or audio versions of church messages/sermons.

An episode lives inside of a sermon series and contains a video file, audio file (or both), and a document for sermon notes (optional.)

To start managing your series settings, log in to CMS 3.0, then go to Media > Series Settings from the top menu. On the landing page you will see options for Manage Series, and Series Settings.

To create a new series click on the "Add New Series Button." You'll see new options to create a new series. 

Once you have filled all required fields, click Add Message.  

To manage an existing series click on the series title beneath the Current Series list on the left side of your screen. To edit the Series click on the Edit Series button. 

Click on + Add New Episode to Series to create a new episode. You'll see new options to create a new episode.

Once you have filled all required fields, click Save.

​

Once a Series has an active episode it will appear on your site. To make an episode active it must have either a video or audio file assigned (or both).

To manage series settings, click on the Series Settings button on top of your screen. You'll see new options to manage your series settings.
