Edit a Player
You can update a Wink Player's information at any time — name, configuration, location, and more — without affecting its assigned content or schedules.
Accessing the Edit Form
The edit button is available in both views of the Players section.
List view — At the right end of the player's row, click the pencil icon. A tooltip reading "Edit Information" confirms you are on the right button.
Card view — At the bottom of the player's card, click the pencil icon (tooltip: "Edit").
The edit form opens in a modal. All fields are pre-filled with the player's current information.
Editable Fields
The form has two tabs: General and Location.
