Sharing Ordos

Prev Next

After you create your Ordo, you can share it with team members to collaborate and prepare for the liturgy.

The Share feature is available on all Source & Summit plans.

Team and Role features are available on the following plans:

  • Standard Plan

  • Educational Plan

  • Complete Digital Add-On

Prepare your Ordo

Before sending your Ordo, customize the music settings to provide tailored content for your recipients:

  1. Create or open an Ordo.

  2. Customize your Ordo with music and text selections.

  3. Select a Role from the top bar:

    Editor - Full planning view

    Choir Member - SATB settings for all music

    Accompanist - SATB and/or chord settings for all music
    Congregation - Melody or text-only view

Don’t have the roles feature?

You can still customize your Ordo for your team members! Select each section and adjust settings in the right panel before sharing. You can also create a resource to share printed materials.
