Pearl User Guide Create a custom channel
Each layout you add to your channel adds a bit of overhead on Pearl - and more complex layouts
take more resources. So it's a good idea to make sure you delete any layouts you're not using.
Custom channel layout editor
The visual channel layout editor gives you full control on size and position of the pictures, sources and text
overlays you add to your channel.
You can edit existing channel layouts (even ones you initially created as simple channels) or you can create a
new channel or a new layout within a channel to work with. To add a new layout, see
Create a custom channel
or layout .
To select a layout for editing:
1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See Connect to the admin
interface .
2. Login as admin.
3. Select your channel from the channels menu and click Sources for the channel.
4. Select the layout you want to edit by clicking anywhere in the layout row; the layout editor shows the
current state of the selected layout for your channel and the row for the layout you're editing is
highlighted green.
5. If this is a new layout, you are presented with an empty layout area and a black background matte.
The Sources page and channel layout editor is broken into a few pieces.
