You can configure seven options |for Planing Center Services. This article covers each option so you can choose the best setting for your needs.

Automatically Check for Plan Updates

This option periodically checks Planning Center to see whether your Plan has been updated. If ProPresenter notices a change, like a new item or a new compatible file attachment, it will alert you of the change in the playlist.

Match Songs in Library

Song matching helps speed up the process of connecting plan items to presentations that exist in ProPresenter. For example, if you have "Who You Say I Am" by Hillsong in your service on Planning Center, and you also have "Who You Say I Am" in your Library in ProPresenter, once you add the plan, ProPresenter will automatically match the item and the presentation and load it for you in your playlist. ProPresenter can match on Title or CCLI number.

Show Historical Service Plans

When this option is checked, you can see past Planning Center plans in ProPresenter when you create a new Planning Center playlist. We will highlight this functionality again when we look at adding a Planning Center playlist in ProPresenter. If this option is unchecked, you will only see future plans.

Make Arrangements From Sequences

Planning Center has put together a massive collection of pre-built song sequences that can be linked to your plans. These sequences can help speed up the process of setting up new songs in ProPresenter. You can use the pre-built sequences or create your own custom arrangements. You can even add a song to your Planning Center Plan multiple times with different sequences, and each of them will be added with the right arrangements in ProPresenter!

Automatically Upload Presentations and Media

If you attach a ProPresenter presentation to a song or attach a media cue to a media item in the playlist, both can be uploaded to your Planning Center account. Planning Center Service plans do have storage limits, so be sure to check your plan before you start uploading files, especially video files, which will quickly use up your storage space. The benefit of this option is that if you create everything on Computer 1, you can add the same Planning Center playlist on Computer 2 and have all the songs and media downloaded. We need to clarify one thing about media. This does not synchronize media within presentations. Backgrounds won't be synchronized. However, you can upload standalone media cues, like a welcome video, in your playlist.

Automatically Download Presentations and Media

This is simply the reverse of the option above. As mentioned, you can download presentation attachments and media attachments. Other attachment types, like audio, text, or PDFs, cannot be downloaded and are ignored by ProPresenter.

Download Library

This is the library where presentations attached to songs on Planning Center will be downloaded in ProPresenter.
