# Managing Tracks

> Add tracks to playlists, search inside a playlist page, and understand who can remove tracks.

Track management happens in two places: while you browse the catalog and on the playlist page itself.

## Adding Tracks

1. Open a track context menu.
2. Choose **Add to playlist**.
3. Pick the target playlist, or create a new one.

If you create a new playlist from that flow, the track you started from becomes the first item in the playlist.

## What The Playlist Page Shows

A playlist page includes:

* Header details: title, description, editor avatars, track count, and total duration.
* The playlist track table.
* A search field: **Search within playlist**.
* The main play button and follow/unfollow state.

If the playlist has no tracks yet, BeatPass shows: `This playlist does not have any tracks yet`.

## Removing and Reordering Tracks

| Role                  | Can add tracks | Can remove tracks | Can reorder tracks |
| --------------------- | -------------- | ----------------- | ------------------ |
| Owner                 | Yes            | Yes               | Yes                |
| Accepted collaborator | Yes            | Owner only in UI  | Owner only in UI   |
| Follower or viewer    | No             | No                | No                 |

<Note>
  The UI may show remove and drag-reorder controls to collaborators, but the backend currently restricts those actions to the playlist owner. If a remove or reorder attempt fails, this is the reason.
</Note>

## Searching Inside A Playlist

Use **Search within playlist** on the playlist page to narrow a long track list without leaving the playlist.

## Playback From A Playlist

* Use the main play control to queue the playlist.
* Start from a specific row to continue playback from that point.
* Use the player queue for temporary playback changes without editing the playlist itself.

<Tip>
  If a playlist is part of a real project, keep the saved order clean and use the queue for one-off listening changes.
