Example
Stillwater Yoga, a fictional yoga studio, adds "Ten-minute morning stretch" with its YouTube link and Order 1. The Videos section on its Classes page shows it first, and visitors can play it there.
If something isn't working
- A video doesn't play on the page. Use the video's YouTube or Vimeo link.
- The videos you ticked as Featured aren't first. The section follows Order, then the newest. Give the ones you want first the lowest numbers.
- Your rows don't show on your website. Check the section is on a page (Put on a page) and that you've pressed Publish since adding it.
- Your table isn't offered under Your table. That section needs a table made from this one, with its columns. Pick Custom in Add a section to show any table instead.
- There's no New data button, or it says "You don't have access to make lists here." Your role can't make tables. Ask an admin of your business for access.
- "These changes are out of date. Review them and apply again." Press Review changes again, then Apply.
