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.

This section describes how to create presentations. There are three types of presentation you can create in BrightAuthor Classic:

- [Full-screen presentations](docId:8bMhunx8LfMFD5VeHvckJ): A looping playlist of media–images, videos, HTML pages, etc.–that occupies the entire presentation display. 
- [Multi-zone presentations](docId:9iUH2AAFoA_CzgFX5bt1V): Content can occupy different zones on the screen, allowing you to display multiple images, videos, HTML pages, and text widgets in a customizable layout.
- [Interactive presentations](docId\:zWHMgcsguPuUbCs9Q7oc7): Playback, whether full-screen or multi-zone, is responsive to interactive events such as button presses, GPIO input, or UDP commands.

Besides image, video, audio, and HTML files, presentations can also feature a number of [states](docId\:GoB-COsJwf2XpffCj6CNk), such as Live Text, Media RSS feeds, and HDMI® input.
