To access the Twitter module in Flow, from the Home page, select Content > Twitter.

Playlist management is integrated into the Twitter module for convenience in cases where users want an integrated workflow of gathering content, content moderation, and playlist management in one place. Additional playlist management functionality is available in the Twitter Playlists module. Using the Twitter module, you can save approved Tweets for output later. Saving a tweet automatically approves it and copies it to any selected playlist(s) and the approved queue. Saving a tweet is as easy as clicking its Star icon.

The star icon with a white center represents a tweet that has not yet been saved. Click to save the tweet and add it to selected playlist(s).

 The star icon with a yellow center represents a tweet which is saved, approved, and added to the selected playlist(s). If no playlist is selected, then the tweet is saved to the approved queue.

note

Only saved tweets can be part of a playlist.
The number inside the star tells you the number of playlists to which that that tweet has been added.
