Overview
The SundaySky platform includes three main areas where you create and manage your videos:
- Video Library - Browse and manage all the videos in your account.
- Studio - Create and edit your videos.
- Video Page - Manage and share a specific video.
A navigation sidebar provides access to all areas and features across the platform. If your organization uses templates, you'll also see the Amplify Template Library.
This article explains how the platform is organized and where to find each main area.

While you work on an individual scene, the thumbnails remain visible. You can access scene-specific actions by clicking the three-dot Options menu in the upper-right corner of any thumbnail.
