  4. Add a new story and see that Viz Pilot receives the update.

    Note:

    All items in a running order need a MOS Object, created in the NCS client, in order to be visible in the Viz Pilot playlist.

    This concludes the installation test for Viz Pilot. For more information on how to use Viz Pilot with newsroom systems and Gateway, see the Viz Pilot documentation.
