# Transition Management

Transitions are managed from the **Transitions** page under the **Administration** section of the main CMS menu. Configure which Transitions should be available to Users for assignment to Media items:

![Transitions Grid](https://2811002782-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fj0uXhtBdyPyW40TfKTZd%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7645ddaacd1e812ae42a8676df135a5f1e6a3993%2Fv4.5_configuration_transitions_grid.png?alt=media)

* **Fade In** - Increase Opacity from 0 to 100.
* **Fade Out** - Decrease Opacity from 100 to 0.
* **Fly** - Fly in or out on a compass point.

## Transition Defaults

{% hint style="success" %}
Global default settings can be set for Transitions by Administrators from the CMS Settings page.
{% endhint %}

Default Transitions can be easily enabled for all Widgets added to a Layout by ticking the **Automatically apply Transitions?** box from the Layout property panel:

![Transitions Layout](https://2811002782-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fj0uXhtBdyPyW40TfKTZd%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a8d20f6d4a5ff00a9cf40355d2d968acb4a29207%2Fv4_tour_transitions_layout.png?alt=media)

**NOTE:** When Transition Defaults have been applied, the Widget Transition fields will show as blank entries:

![Transitions Widget](https://2811002782-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fj0uXhtBdyPyW40TfKTZd%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-8b2e7c0d021fa5b1aee28dbb1abd8be7665a8555%2Fv4_tour_transitions_widget.png?alt=media)

This is because only **manually** entered Transitions for a Widget will be shown in the form fields. 

## Playlist Transitions

These are the Transitions between **Media items** on a Playlist and are set as **In** and **Out** transitions.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Transition form adapts depending on the Transition selected and the options available for that transition. In most cases it is necessary to select a duration for the Transition in Milliseconds and in the case of Fly, a direction must also be selected.
{% endhint %}

## Playlist Exit Transition

A Playlist Exit Transition happens when the last Media Item to be displayed on a Playlist is shown and allows for a different Exit Transition to be set.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/configuration-and-organisation/configure_transitions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
