Create a playlist from the gallery​
- In the Walnut Library, click New and choose Playlist.
- The Start from a template gallery opens. Pick one of the options below.
- Check the preview on the right, then click Use this template (for a template) or Create (for a blank layout).
Walnut creates the playlist in the folder you're in and opens it in the editor. If you leave the editor without making any changes, the untouched copy is archived automatically, so trying out templates doesn't clutter your Library.
Start from scratch​
The Start from scratch column offers three blank layouts:
| Layout | Best for |
|---|---|
| Choose Your Own Adventure | Letting buyers explore on their own by choosing demos, videos, and other content. Best for pre- and post-call sharing and champion-led sharing. |
| Sales Hub | Taking prospects on a guided journey through demos, videos, presentations, and more. Best for live presentations and async follow-up. |
| Customer Hub | Customer experiences such as quarterly business reviews and ongoing customer success engagements. |
Sales Hub and Customer Hub are part of an add-on and carry an ADD-ON badge if your account doesn't have it. Clicking Create on one of them without the add-on shows how to upgrade.
Templates​
The Templates section lists ready-made templates curated by Walnut. When there's more than one kind, filter them with All, Playlist, or Content Hub. Each card shows its kind.
Select a template to see a live, scaled-down preview with its name and description. The template is a starting point: after you click Use this template, everything in your copy is yours to edit.
