# Add a playlist to a template

Now that you know how to [create a playlist](/v1/docs/create-playlists), we will teach you in this tutorial, **how to add playlists to templates.**

Use cases for your playlists:

- **Noticeboard** - add to your playlists templates, images which will inform about upcoming events, new employees, recognize people, important facts, challenge of the week etc. It is up to you whether you prefer to add/change images when you update the playlist or refer templates which you can easily modify and even can be modifyed by different users.
- Other use case could be to **use only part of your canvas as playlist** and show as a playlist images of dishes.

Templates tab - Designer:
