Important Notes!

• The first time you open the Settings > Screen Saver tab after installing this update, it will be very slow to open due to Windows Defender locking the .scr files for a long time during the initial scan.

We're excited to announce that we've added the ability to expire content files automatically. You can now set an expiry date and time on images, videos, and other content types. When the expiry date passes, the content will be automatically removed from the configuration on all devices. This feature is great for making sure that things like limited time promos get removed automatically.

Follow these steps to set an expiry date on a file:

1. Click the "Content" link in the header bar to go to your organization's Content management page.
2. Click the edit icon next to the file you want to set the expiry date on.
   

   Edit Content Item
3. In the "Edit Content" dialog, enable the "Expire this content..." checkbox, then choose the date and time you'd like the content to expire.
   

   Edit Content Dialog
4. Click the Save button, and you should now see a green clock icon next to the item on the Content page.
   

   Content Expiry Icon
5. After the content has expired, the file will be highlighted in red on the Content management page. Expired content will not be automatically deleted, so you can always remove the expiry or extend the expiry date if you like.

As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or issues when using CloudShow, please don't hesitate to contact us!

• The monitors are powered on and set to the correct inputs. You can usually change the input using a physical button on the monitor. TVs and monitors connected via DisplayPort will "disconnect" from the computer when they're powered off or set to a different input.
• The Windows display settings. Do all of the monitors show up there? If so, please send us a support request using the Help > Support Request button in DisplayFusion.
• The video card drivers are installed and up to date. You can usually get them from the NVIDIA or AMD websites, or from the website for the manufacturer of your computer.
• The cables. Make sure they're plugged in tightly, and if that doesn't resolve it, try swapping them for other known good cables.
• The computer. Connecting the missing monitor to another computer.
• The monitor. Swap the monitor with another known good monitor.

• Try switching inputs on the monitor. This is usually done with a physical button on the monitor itself.
• Get up close to the monitor and have a look at the screen. If you can see a very faint image of the windows on the monitor, it's most likely that the backlight in the monitor is broken. In this case, the monitor will appear normally to Windows, but without a backlight, it's nearly impossible to actually see what's on the display.

We're excited to announce that we've added a new API endpoint (setDeviceTemplate) for changing the template on devices.

To use this endpoint, you'll need an API token that has read/write permissions. You can view and configure tokens on the Organization > API page.

To perform a quick test and view more details about the setDeviceTemplate endpoint, navigate to Organization > API > Documentation > setDeviceTemplate.

Testing the Endpoint
