At this point, you may also want to modify the styles for the spreadsheet content. This can always be done later.

Click the Accept button to save the zone properties and click the Preview button (green play icon) on the template designer to ensure your settings are correct.

Now just save your template and schedule your template to play. Any modifications to the spreadsheet data will automatically be reflected in your signage within 10 minutes.
