 ===== Using the "Update Advertising" Function =====
+Advertising blocks are created (and filled with content) at the time that you run the scheduling for the particular hours.
+But it can often happen that the advertising content changes later. For example when there is a last-minute booking or cancellation. Or if the scheduling is performed long before the traffic logs are available.
+For that reason, mAirList includes an //Update Advertising// function that will redo the advertising scheduling for the selected hours, and update the playlists accordingly.
+<WRAP round tip>
+You must enable the //Always use container// option in the ad block settings to make Update Advertising work. Without that option, and the containers, mAirList will not be able to identify the start end end of the ad blocks within the hourly playlist.
+</WRAP>
+The Update Advertising function is available in various places:
+  * In the menu next to the //Generate// button the mAirListDB playlist view - will update the currently loaded playlist.
+  * In the right-click menu of the //Go to// dialog - can update multiple hours at once.
+  * In the options for the (append/load/play) database playlist actions in the Event Scheduler, so you can perform it automatically during the hourly playlist load event.
+  * In the right-click menu of the playlist in the playout window - to allow last minute changes.
