Playlists

With Make it is possible to execute multiple configuration template files. This is not only very useful from a maintainability point of view, but with playlists you can configure retries.
Sometimes Office 365 takes a little bit more time creating all the components in the background and then your template might fail. With a retry you can continue your provisioning process and deliver with success!

Another big plus is that you can mix and match XML template files! As PnP evolves at a much greater pace you can leverage that and use those new components side by side with your existing Make XML templates. How cool is that!

<Playlist RetryCount="2" RetryDelay="10000">
    <Files>
      <ConfigurationFile FileName="main-site.xml" FileType="Make" Requeueable="True" />      
      <ConfigurationFile FileName="navigation.xml" FileType="PnP" />      
      <ConfigurationFile FileName="security.xml" FileType="PnP" />      
    </Files>
</Playlist>

How to use

Until now you have been using configuration.xml as the file with the necessary metadata. For using a playlist, just create a playlist.xml with the same metadata as before.
