# Managing Videos

URL: https://docs.boldvideo.com/guides/managing-videos











The **Videos** section is your library; the video edit page is where each video comes together. This guide covers both.

## The video library

The library lists every video with its thumbnail, duration, title, teaser, visibility, and date. From here you can:

* **Search** your library with the search box (or press <kbd>⌘K</kbd> anywhere in the admin panel)
* **Filter** by privacy status, collection, or tag using the sidebar
* **Select multiple videos** with the checkboxes for bulk actions
* **Create collections** directly from the sidebar

## The video edit page

Click any video to open its edit page.

### Details

The **Details** tab holds the core metadata. Every text field has an **AI Actions** menu (the sparkle button) with five options: **Generate**, **Shorten**, **Make Punchier**, **Expand**, and **Simplify**.

| Field            | Notes                                                      |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Title**        | Drafted by AI on upload; regenerate any time               |
| **Slug**         | URL-friendly identifier, used in portal URLs and the API   |
| **Teaser**       | A one-liner for cards and lists                            |
| **Description**  | Longer copy; supports rich text                            |
| **Published At** | Set a publish date, useful for backdating imported content |

Each field shows a badge (**AI Generated** or **Manually edited**) so you always know where the text came from. Once you edit a field manually, Bold won't touch it again unless you explicitly regenerate it.

### Video Type

Above the tabs you'll find the **Video Type** selector. The type (Podcast Episode, Training Session, Sales Call, All-Hands, …) tells the AI what to pay attention to when writing titles, teasers, descriptions, chapters, and the intelligence report. Pick the closest match, or [define your own types](/guides/video-intelligence#video-types).

### Chapters

The **Chapters** tab shows AI-generated chapters as editable lines, each with a timestamp and a title. Fix a title, merge sections, or regenerate the whole list with AI Actions. Chapters appear in the player, the portal, and the API.

### Attachments

Attach files to a video: worksheets, slides, templates. Attachments are delivered alongside the video in the portal and exposed via the API.

### Sidebar: everything else

* **Video Details**: ID, created/updated timestamps, duration, detected language
* **Thumbnail**: upload a custom thumbnail or keep the auto-generated one
* **Transcript**: status plus a link to the [transcript editor](/guides/transcripts-chapters)
* **Call to Action**: attach a [CTA](/guides/settings#call-to-actions) or use your account default
* **Tags**: freeform labels for filtering and API queries
* **Collections**: add the video to one or more collections

## Visibility

The dropdown next to **Save** controls who can see the video:

| Visibility   | Portal listing | Direct link  | API (`/videos`) |
| ------------ | -------------- | ------------ | --------------- |
| **Public**   | ✅ Listed       | ✅ Works      | ✅ Returned      |
| **Unlisted** | ❌ Not listed   | ✅ Works      | ❌ Not returned  |
| **Private**  | ❌ Not listed   | ❌ Admin only | ❌ Not returned  |

New uploads start as **Unlisted**.
