Editing a Public Feed

The feed editor is where you set up everything about a feed you're publishing — name, description, pricing, distribution mode, supported shapes, subscriber questions, and the playlists that drive content. Save it once, then refine over time as you see how subscribers use it.

info

This page requires the creator or admin role.

Open it by clicking a feed in the Feed Admin list, or + New to create one.

The form​

The left column has the feed's settings:

FieldNotes
NameWhat subscribers see in the public feed browser.
Is PublicYes lists it in the browser; No keeps it hidden (subscribers join via direct link only).
ModePlaylist (you curate playlists), Library (subscribers pick messages), or Both.
ShapesWhich orientations the feed supports — Horizontal (16:9), Vertical (9:16), or Both.
DescriptionHTML allowed. This is what subscribers see on the feed detail page.
Monthly FeePer-subscriber monthly charge.
Per Screen FeeExtra monthly charge per screen the feed runs on.
Trial DaysFree trial period before billing begins. 30 is typical.
ThumbnailClick the image to open the cropper and upload a new one.

Click Save to commit.

Questions​

The right column is the Questions editor — where you define configurable variables for the feed's templates. Common examples:

  • {zipCode} for a weather feed
  • {businessName} for branded slides
  • {facebook}, {twitter}, {instagram} for social media slides

Each question has a Key Name (what's used inside {braces}), a Title (shown to subscribers), a Field Type, and an optional placeholder default. Subscriber answers override the defaults at render time.

Editing the feed's playlists​

When the feed mode is Playlist or Both, the form header shows an Edit Playlist button. Clicking it opens that playlist's editor — drop in messages, set the order, save.

When the mode is Library or Both, an Edit Library button appears for the message library. Add the messages you want subscribers to pick from.

You can edit either playlist any time; changes propagate to every active subscription on the next cache refresh.

Trial and billing​

Once a feed is published and an account subscribes, SignPresenter handles the rest:

  • A billable item is created with the start date pushed out by your trial-days value.
  • After the trial, monthly billing begins automatically.
  • If the subscriber unsubscribes, the billable item is deactivated and billing stops.

You don't manage individual subscriber bills — SignPresenter aggregates everything into your payout, with affiliate commissions deducted (if applicable). See Affiliate & Commissions.

Deleting a feed​

The Delete feed button at the bottom permanently removes the feed. Use this with care — active subscribers will lose access to the feed's content. There's no undo.
