Roadmap

Changelog

Getting started

How the CMS is laid out: the dashboard hub, the top bar, and how you move between areas.

Finding your way around Display Link

The standard login plus the other entry points: onboarding, scoped login links, pairing and public previews.

Logging in and the ways into the CMS

Both themes are first-class. How to switch, and where the choice is remembered.

Light and dark themes

The tile grid you land on after login, why tiles differ between users, and what the dashboard deliberately leaves out.

Your dashboard — the home hub

Your account role decides which areas and actions are available to you.

Who can see what

Displays

See every screen on your account, its status and what it is playing, in list or grid view.

The displays list

Four ways to add a screen: pair a TV, add a virtual display, create an empty record, or download the player app.

Adding a display

The step-by-step pairing wizard, and how to link a display you created earlier.

Pairing a display

Open Info on a linked display to control it — info, settings, firmware, playlists, previews, logs and health.

The device drawer: managing one screen

Playlist

A playlist is the scheduled sequence of content that runs on your screens. Find, create and delete them here.

Your playlists list

Add slides, set their content and choose how each one is laid out.

Building a playlist — the Slides tab

Use the Schedule tab to control the days and times your playlist runs.

Scheduling when a playlist plays

Assign a playlist to displays, and set the effects played between slides.

Choosing screens and transitions

Drive

Drive is your unified content store — images, videos, audio, fonts, websites, tables, products and feeds all live here.

The Drive browser

Upload files, create folders, tables, websites and feeds, or import stock images.

Adding content to Drive

Double-click any file to open its edit panel: name, tags, preview and type-specific options.

Editing a Drive item

Rename, move, copy and delete items, and how Drive appears inside other editors.

Organising Drive, and the embedded picker

Design Editor

Browse your designs, preview them, and open one in the editor.

Finding and opening a design

The top bar: add-layer palette, the action bar, zoom and the Animate toggle.

The editor at a glance

The Hierarchy, Templates and Data tabs down the left side of the editor.

The layer list

The right rail edits the selected layer — layout, style, type-specific options and animation.

The property panel

Select, move and resize layers, and use snap guides, distance pills and the eyedropper.

Working on the canvas

Press ? anywhere in the editor for the full cheat sheet. The complete list, by group.

Keyboard shortcuts

Text, shape, image, video, table, website and data-backed layers — each with its own controls.

Layer types

Every colour picker offers recent and palette swatches, a live preview and an eyedropper, and surfaces your Brand Kit.

Colour and brand styling

Build styled tables and repeating templates that render one instance per data row.

Templates and data-driven layouts

Switch to Animate mode to reveal the timeline and add keyframes per layer.

Animating a design

Autosave plus Ctrl+S, undo with a snackbar, revisions, template banners and public preview links.

Saving, history and sharing a design

Build named font and layer styles once and apply them across designs, on a schedule if you want.

Themes — your reusable style library

Browse the starter-template gallery, preview a template live, and clone it into your account in one step.

Starting from a template

The full set of text controls: fonts, weight, spacing, fit, shadow and decoration.

Styling text

Product Editor

A cut-down login for shop staff who only need to maintain product data — prices, names, images and stock.

What the Product Editor is

Add a link-based user under Settings › Users and send the link and password to your staff member.

Creating a product-editor login link

The scope of the cut-down product-editor experience.

What a product editor can and cannot do

Because the login is a normal account user, you control it from Settings › Users.

Revoking product-editor access

Products

The Products area is the everyday place to manage what's for sale. Catalogs hold the master data; lists curate what shows on screen.

Product lists and product catalogs

Open a list or catalog to edit product rows inline — names, prices, descriptions, stock and images.

Editing products

Use search to jump straight to one product and edit it without browsing the whole catalogue.

Finding a product fast

Connecting external sources to Display Link

Feeds

A feed brings external data into Display Link on a schedule, ready to show on screen.

What a feed is

Edit your feed's data: add rows, edit cells inline, manage columns, and name the feed.

The data grid — rows and columns

The Source tab: push data in, pull it on a schedule, link to another feed, and map raw data to your columns.

Pulling data into a feed

The source types you can connect, and how feeds report ingestion problems.

Built-in data sources and feed health

A flow is an IFTTT-style rule that reshapes a feed's rows before they reach the screen.

What flows do

Set the trigger, the conditions that must match, and the actions to perform on matching rows.

Building a flow — WHEN, AND, THEN

Common flows you can copy: hide out-of-stock items, format prices, split fields, swap images and restyle rows.

Flow examples

Account & Settings

Set your account and company details, and the industry that drives starter-template recommendations.

Account information and industry

Set the account's working-hours schedule, used for time-aware behaviour.

Working hours

Add team members three ways, and grant per-user permissions that gate every area of the CMS.

Team members, roles and permissions

Store your brand colours, font and logo once, and they are swapped automatically into starter designs.

Brand kit

The avatar menu is the entry point to your profile, account switching and signing out.

The user menu and switching accounts

Set your language and theme, manage login methods and sessions, API tokens, and authorised apps.

Your profile — general, security and connected apps

Queue System

The Queue System is a 'now serving' caller — drive the live queue number that shows on your screens.

Calling the next number

Use Display Settings to enable the queue number per screen and pick its chime and volume.

Choosing screens, sound and volume

Let an AI assistant work with your Display Link account through MCP, with permissions you control.
