Create and Manage Lists

Create lists to organize content, control visibility, and adjust list settings.

Last updated February 4, 2026

Lists are how you organize movies and TV shows in WatchThis. You can keep lists private, share them with collaborators, or make them public so others can view them.

  1. Go to My Lists (/lists).
  2. Click Create List.
  3. Fill out the list settings:
    • List Name (required)
    • Description (optional)
    • List Type (Mixed, Movies Only, TV Shows Only)
    • Make this list public (optional)
  4. Click Create.

List types help keep lists focused:

  • Mixed (Movies & TV Shows): can contain both.
  • Movies Only: only movie titles can be added.
  • TV Shows Only: only TV shows can be added.

If you try to add incompatible content, WatchThis will ask you to choose a compatible list (or create a new one).

  1. Open the list.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Update the fields you want.
  4. Click Save Changes.

Only the list owner can change list settings.

To invite collaborators, open the list and click Share.

Read: Share a List with Collaborators.

If you share a list, you can optionally enable Sync watch status & TV schedules with collaborators in list settings.

This syncs progress for titles that are in that shared list.
