Introduction

As a Content Partner, you can add VOD Multi-Part content in the Content Partner Portal (if the admin has enabled this content option in the Muvi One CMS). Multi-Part content has 3 parts. 1. Parent 2. Season, 3. Child. For example, a TV Show is a multipart content type, where the Show is the Parent content, under the parent content you can add the seasons and the episodes are the Child content. First, you need to add 'Parent' content and then you can add the 'Seasons' and 'Child' content.
