Saved shows

A saved show is a named snapshot of a rundown, kept at the team level rather than inside any one room. Save one from a room you have already built, then load it into a new room or an existing one — as many times, and into as many rooms, as you like. Loading never changes or removes the saved show itself.

Open the Controller and click Saved Shows in the header.

Saving the current rundown as a show

1. From a room's Controller, click Saved Shows in the header.
2. Under Save current rundown as a show, type a Show name (required, up to 200 characters).
3. Click Save as show.

What gets saved is the structural shape of each session — title, speaker, notes, duration, mode, "pause before", and "this is a break" — in running order. Scheduled start times and auto-start are not saved. A saved show is reused across rooms and events, and a fixed clock time or a "start itself" flag only makes sense for one room on one day, so both are dropped. Loading a show always produces plain, unscheduled sessions — the same starting point CSV import produces.

Saving does not touch the room's own rundown. It is a snapshot, not a move.

The free plan is capped at one saved show

On the free plan your team can hold one saved show at a time. Saving a second offers an upgrade instead — the same Upgrade to Pro prompt the 1-room limit uses.

This is not a dead end if you want to save a different show without upgrading: delete your existing saved show from the Dashboard's Saved shows panel, then save the new one. No upgrade required — you are simply back to holding one.

Managing saved shows

Your team's saved shows are listed on the Dashboard, above the room grid, each showing its name and session count.

• Rename — edit the name in place.
• Delete — asks for confirmation. Deleting a saved show never affects any room that already loaded it; loading copies the sessions rather than linking to the saved show, so the two are unrelated again the moment the load finishes.

Loading a saved show into a room

There are two starting points:

A new room. On the + New Room dialog, an extra Start from a saved show picker appears whenever your team has at least one saved show. Leave it on Start blank for an empty room, or choose a saved show to seed the new room's rundown from it immediately.

An existing room. From that room's Controller, click Saved Shows in the header, choose a show under Load a saved show into this room, and click Load into this room.

Loading into an existing room replaces its entire rundown — it does not add to it, and the replacement cannot be undone. This is the opposite of CSV import, which always appends. A confirmation names exactly how many sessions are about to be deleted before anything happens, so read it before confirming — there is no undo once you do.

If the room was mid-show when you load, playback stops and the on-air session is cleared, the same as pressing Reset.

Loading a saved show is always safe to repeat: it never consumes, changes, or deletes the saved show, no matter how many rooms load it or how many times.

Exporting the current rundown as CSV

From the same Saved Shows page, Export CSV downloads the room's current rundown using the same four columns CSV import reads — title, speaker, notes, duration — so a room's running order round-trips through a spreadsheet. The button is disabled if the room has no sessions yet.

The file it downloads is a plain CSV with a header row, not a Tamora format. That makes it the one artefact here that travels: a producer, venue or client who does not use Tamora can open the running order in any spreadsheet, and a rundown built somewhere else can come back in through CSV import using the same four columns. A saved show, by contrast, only exists inside Tamora — it is a starting point for another room, not a document to hand over.
