# Layouts

It is possible to select between several layouts so that you can show more content on a display, specially if the display is large you can use this feature to show more items at the same time.

When creating a new playlist select the layout you prefer, for example you can choose the one that divides a display in 6 sections:

![](/files/-M_VSvdflm-Mnp90nEcN)

Since your layout has more than one section, you have actually in total 6 playlists, one for every section.

You can choose in which section you want to put your items by selecting the section from the dropdown control:

![](/files/-M_VTG_tO97i1kyf2mrb)

Adding items in one section will appear in the correct section on the preview:

![](/files/-M_VTUl6Paa4xZz4tYp3)

You can add as many items you want on every section since each is also a playlist, and so on:

![](/files/-M_VTndbwDH-xMw1JSE_)

![](/files/-M_VYd2LfkvCKEGrf5_1)

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep in mind that hardware may have limits on how many videos that can be played at the same time.
{% endhint %}

Layouts are also important to consider if you want to show content on a portrait display (default is landscape). By selecting the portrait layout you can preview how the end result will look like on the display.
