Admin: Play Management
✦ Click any bullet point or select text for an AI explanation
Click Edit Plays next to any playbook to manage the plays inside it.
The Play List
The list shows all plays in order, with their title, position, and whether they are published or in draft. From here you can edit individual plays or change their order.
Editing a Play
Click Edit next to any play to open the editor. You can change:
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Title | The name shown in the play list |
| Web address | The link used to reach this play — changing it breaks existing bookmarks |
| Content | The text and structure of the play |
| Intro video | An optional video shown at the top of the play |
| Order | Where this play appears in the sequence |
| Status | Draft keeps it hidden; Published makes it readable |
| Access | Who can read this play: everyone, signed-in users, premium users, or only those with playbook access |
The editor shows a preview of how the play will look as you write.
SEO Settings for Blog Posts
Blog post plays include an SEO section in the editor. These fields are hidden by default to keep the editor tidy — click Show next to the SEO heading to expand them.
| Field | What It Does |
|---|---|
| SEO Title | The title shown in Google search results. If left blank, the play's display title is used. Maximum 60 characters. |
| Meta Description | The short summary shown under the title in search results. If left blank, the opening lines of the post are used. Maximum 155 characters. |
| Published Date | The date shown in search results and article schemas. Set this when you first publish a post. |
Click ✦ Generate SEO to let AI draft an SEO title and description based on the play's content. You can edit the suggestions before saving.
Team playbook plays do not show SEO fields — team playbooks are private and not indexed by search engines, so these settings are not relevant.
Reordering Plays
Click Reorder to drag plays into the order you want. Save when you're done.
AI Image Generation
Both public/premium playbook authors and team playbook authors can add AI-generated images to plays and playbook cards. Images make your content more engaging and help team members navigate and identify plays at a glance.
Opening the image panel. In the play editor, click the Image button in the toolbar. A panel opens at the bottom with three tabs:
| Tab | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Upload | Upload any image from your computer. Images are resized to a maximum of 1024 px and stored in Cloudflare R2. |
| AI Generate | Describe the image you want and Backtick generates it using Google Gemini. |
| Unsplash | Search and insert professional photos from Unsplash. |
Generating an AI image.
- Click the AI Generate tab
- Type a prompt describing the image — for example: "A founder reviewing a product roadmap with their team, warm office lighting, realistic style"
- Click Generate image
- Review the result. If you want to refine it, type a follow-up prompt — for example: "Make the lighting warmer and add a laptop on the table" — and generate again
- Each iteration shows alongside the previous ones so you can compare
- When you're happy, click Insert to embed the image in the play
Generated images are stored in Cloudflare R2 and referenced in the play's content. For public plays, the image is also used in social media cards and SEO metadata.
Image credits. AI image generation uses the Image category of AI credits, tracked separately from Q&A (Standard) and authoring (Authoring) credits. You can see your image usage in Account → AI Usage. If your team has its own Gemini API key configured, image generation draws from that key and is never blocked by platform limits.
Team playbook images work exactly the same way. Team admins can generate images for private team plays — the images are stored in R2 alongside your other team content and are not publicly accessible.
