||||||
=============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once you get your system set up for OpenLP you will be ready to add content to
|
|
||||||
your Service Manager. This will all happen through the **Media Manager**. The
|
|
||||||
`Media Manager` contains all the Bibles, Songs, Presentations, Media, and
|
|
||||||
everything else that you will project through OpenLP.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may need to enable the plugins that came with OpenLP. As you can see below
|
|
||||||
this is what the `Media Manager` looks like with all the plugins enabled.
