:::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.

In its simplest form, a presentation can contain image, video, and/or audio files. However, a number of presentation *states* exist which  allow you to expand the functionality and versatility of your projects. For example, if you want to have dynamic, remotely updatable media in your playlist, you can add a Media RSS Feed state to your playlist and point it at a hosted feed URL.

To add a state to your presentation, click the **other** tab under Media Library and drag the desired state into the playlist area.

:::hint{type="info"}
You can add any state to an interactive playlist, but some states cannot be used in non-interactive playlists because they require interactive input.
