1. If you need to, create your slide or format it to work in the sign
- Canva.com is a quick way to make slides from pre-made templates
2. Login to brightspot.byu.edu (https://brightspot.byu.edu/) (speak to CSR, if you need access)
3. In the dashboard at the top click in the "Search" blank to open the some new options.
4. At the very bottom of this new screen on the left will be a "Create" section. Click the drop menu (which will likely drop up).
5. Scroll down till you get to the "Media Content Types" and select the "Image" option and then click the "New"button to the right.
6. Create new image
1. Go to "New Upload" underneath the "Title" section and select "Choose"
2. A file choosing dialogue will open and you can choose the image file saved on your computer.
3. After adding the image you will notice that the "Title" is now populated with the name of the file name of the image you added.
4. If that file name is satisfactory you may leave it as it is, if not you may change the title to whatever you want. Please be descriptive and brief with names. They will be used to reference the file from here on out.
5. Also add alt text that describes what the image is. (this can be the same as the title if that describes the image well enough).
6. IMPORTANT: Add the "signage" tag. This adds this image to the slide line up on the TV signs.
7. If you are going to add this slide to the signs immediately click the green "Publish" button at the top of the page (and skip to step 10)
8. If you need this slide to show up at a later date then click the small calendar button to the right of the"publish" button and the click "set" to create a schedule.
- 
9. The "Publish" button will now be a yellow "Schedule" button. Select that now to create the schedule.
10. ONE LAST THING: We have created an image to show up on the slide show, but now we need to decide when this image will leave the slideshow.
1. Remove the "signage" tag
1. Click the minus
-
2. It should look crossed out like this now
-
2. If it says publish at the top still, then schedule the tag removal for the future (see step 8).
3. If the button says "Schedule" already then this slide already has a schedule and we want to make anew one.
1. To the left of the date you Previously scheduled, click on the drop-down menu, and select"create new schedule". If you do not do this, you will "Update Existing Schedule" that you made to start the slide.
-
2. Set a new schedule with the calendar button
3. Now finally click "Schedule"
4. The slide will not remove that tag in the future and leave the slideshow at that date
11. If you published it immediately your new slide will show up in the slideshow at this link in about 5min
