# nnounce - Scripts, Backups, Synchronization

There's more to managing nnounce devices from your CX installation than firmware alone. This tutorial walks through three additional features:

1. adding new scripts to your devices,
2. backing up your devices, and
3. synchronizing files between the Media Library and the devices themselves

See also the [nnounce configuration manual](https://docs.simpleway.cloud/nnounce/docs/nn-configuration-ui) for your nnounce devices.

Topics covered:
