# How to Change or Remove a Schedule from a Device

## Switch a device from one Schedule to another, or replace the Schedule with a single Playlist.

Each device in the Custom Channels App can use either a single **Playlist** or a full **Schedule**.

### Change the Schedule on a device

1. Click **Locations** in the left navigation.
2. Open the **Devices** tab.
3. Click the **settings icon** next to the device.
4. Open **Playlist Management**.
5. Choose **Assign Schedule** and select the Schedule you want that device to use.

### Stop using a Schedule

If you want the device to play one playlist instead of following a Schedule, choose **Assign Playlist** under Playlist Management and select the playlist you want.

A device uses one or the other, so assigning a Playlist replaces the Schedule on that device. No restart is required.

If your goal is simply to change when music starts or stops, edit the Schedule instead.
