## Add track from track details page

You can add a track to a playlist from the track details page. To do this:

1. Find your track in a track table.
2. Select the kebab menu ({fa}`ellipsis-v`) next to the track to open the track options menu.
3. Select {guilabel}`Add to playlist…`. The {guilabel}`Manage playlists` screen appears.

## Rebuild the playlist with xspf file

```{warning}
This will delete all content from the playlist and replace it with the one from the xspf file.
```

1. Go to the playlist page
2. Click on the kebab menu ({fa}`ellipsis-v`)
3. click on "Rebuild playlist"
