Convert a channel to a series

If you have a channel you've already created that would work better as a series, you can convert that channel to a series. When you convert a channel to a series, you must have the series within another existing channel. If necessary, create a new channel before you convert one to a series, then save the series to the new channel.

1. On the Sermons page, select a channel.

2. From the Actions dropdown in the top right corner, select Convert to Series.

3. Choose the channel for the series and select Convert. The channel will be deleted from Sermons, and a series will be created in your chosen channel.

4. Add additional episodes to this series by selecting the series under the General tab of each episode.

Add an episode to a series

Add episodes that are not part of a series to an existing series or change the series for an episode.

1. On the General tab of an episode, select the Series dropdown.

2. Choose the series you want to add the episode to from the dropdown.

3. Select a series from the Series tab in a channel to view all episodes in that series.
