Note: In Viz Pilot 6.0 and later, the Playlist Window described here is the default, and the Legacy Playlist is deprecated. You can select which playlist to use in the Playlist - General Preferences options.

Note: Live Update of templates from Template Wizard has been superseded by Update Services. If you need to use Live Update, you must also use the Legacy Playlist.
