Think of your Ordo as a master document for the liturgy you are preparing. ![The Ordo Editor page for the First Sunday of Advent.](https://cdn.document360.io/2f4703e0-6aba-4ef3-bb5e-e77c48482a6f/Images/Documentation/Ordo%20Editor.png) The Ordo Editor allows you to select, prepare, and configure the contents of your Ordo. Use the outline in the left panel to navigate between sections. When you click a section (for example, the Entrance Chant, Kyrie, or Gloria), its configuration/customization settings will open in the right panel. Here’s a simple process to help you use the Digital Platform as you prepare for your next liturgy: 1. **Review your Outline** Use the Outline in the left panel to include only the sections you need. Scan your Outline and add new sections or remove any that aren’t relevant to your liturgy preparation needs. 2. **Choose music and text** Click through each section in the outline to make your music and text selections. 3. **Customize text and music settings** Adjust settings such as text format, key, verse configuration, notation style, accompaniment format, and more in the right panel. > [!NOTE] > Learn more about liturgy preparation tools: > > [Adding and removing Outline sections](/v1/docs/add-remove-and-duplicate-sections) > > [Preparing antiphons](/v1/docs/selecting-antiphons) > > [Preparing Responsorial Psalms & Alleluias](/v1/docs/preparing-responsorial-psalms-alleluias) > > [Selecting hymns](/v1/docs/selecting-hymns) ## **Content library management** From your Ordo, you can also access the full library of liturgical texts and music that comes with your subscription.
