:::hint{type="warning"}
This page / section pertains to **BrightAuthor Classic**, our legacy app. **BrightSign Author **is our latest app for managing content and players.

Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
:::

Use the **Button Panel** dropdown list to select the type of button panel (BP200 or BP900) you wish to configure. The A, B, and C letters specify which device is enumerated first; the B and C letters are only applicable if you are connecting more than one BP device of the same model number to the player.

Choose one of the following:

- **Automatically configure which buttons are enabled**: Only buttons that are configured with BP200/BP900 events in the presentation will be enabled. All other buttons will not light up or react to button presses
- **Specify which buttons are enabled**: Only the specified buttons will be enabled regardless of whether there are BP200/BP900 events in the presentation that are configured to use them. If this option is selected, a BP200/BP900 event set to the **Any Button** option will only react to button numbers that have been enabled.
