Editor basics

The editor is where you spend most of your time in M3UTool. This chapter covers the everyday work: finding, selecting, ordering, moving, adding, editing and removing channels, movies and series.

• How the editor works: the parts of the screen and what saves when.
• Select several channels: pick many rows at once for one action.
• Search and filter: find channels by name or by what they have.
• Sort and reorder: put channels and groups in the order your customers see.
• Groups: create, rename, hide, merge and delete groups.
• Move and copy channels: move channels to another group or copy them to another playlist.
• Add a channel: add a stream you have an address for.
• Edit a channel: change one channel's name, number, TV guide id or address.
• Hide or delete: keep something from your customers, or remove it.
• The bin: restore what you deleted, or remove it for good.
• Undo: take back your last change.
• Columns and view: choose what the grid shows.
• FAQ: common questions about working in the editor.
