# The graphics rundown

A **rundown** is an ordered list of graphics for a show. You can organise these as you please, but a common use case would be a rundown per-show, or per-broadcast day.

## Toggling between graphics and rundown views

Click the header of the graphics list (top of the left sidebar) to toggle between the **graphics view** (every graphic in the selected rundown) and the **rundown view** (the rundown list itself).

## Creating a rundown

On the top left of the control panel, click the rundown header, then + Rundown

A new rundown starts empty. Add graphics to it with the **+ Graphic** button or by right-clicking the rundown background and choosing **Add Graphic**.

## Renaming, duplicating, and deleting

Right-click any rundown in the rundown list to rename, duplicate, or delete it.

**Duplicating a rundown is independent**, not linked. When you duplicate `Day 1` to make `Day 2`, Lumora creates new graphic instances for every graphic in the original rundown. Editing a graphic in `Day 2` has no effect on the corresponding graphic in `Day 1`. This is what you want when running a multi-day event with similar templates but different content per day.

## Accent colour

Each rundown has an accent colour that shows up in the rundown list and across the control panel header while that rundown is active. Setting a distinct colour per rundown is the fastest way to confirm at a glance which rundown the operator is currently driving, particularly during transitions between shows.

## Live elsewhere

If a graphic is on-air on a different rundown to the one currently selected, it appears under **Live elsewhere** at the top of the graphics list. This handles the common case where an operator switches rundowns during a show but a graphic from the previous rundown is still live on output. From the **Live elsewhere** entry you can take the graphic off air directly, without first switching back to the rundown that owns it.
