In the software, click SHINE Center in the upper-right corner.
When the Connections panel opens, find Register this SHINE and click Register.
The registration page opens with this installation’s connection code already included. Choose the sign-in method you prefer—such as Apple or Google—and complete registration.
When the website confirms completion, return to the SHINE software and accept the connection.
Confirm that SHINE Center says Online before sending content.
You do not need to copy or request a code manually. The registration link carries the code for this specific installation, and it does not expose another organization’s library.

Library, folders and search
Organize everything with folders, drag and drop, search and practical filters.
The toolbar controls how you find and view the Library. The folder tree controls how the service is organized.
1 · FolderCreate the folder required before adding content.
2 · Expand or collapseOpen or close all folders to keep a large Library ordered.
3 · SearchType any folder or item name to find it anywhere in the Library.
4 · FilterShow only the file or content types you need.
5 · Text sizeUse − and + to make Library labels smaller or larger.
6 · BoldToggle stronger Library labels; it does not change Live output.
How folders work
Click Folder, enter a name, choose its color and optionally set a date.
Lock a folder when it must remain protected from accidental deletion by another person.
Save exports the folder outside the desktop together with everything stored inside it.
Drag Bible passages or other SHINE content into the folder. For photos or supported desktop files, drop them into Add item or drop files, or click Add Item.
Folders can contain more folders. Create a parent folder for a service or event, then organize Songs, Verses or any structure inside it.
A folder must exist before content can be added to that location.
Color, date, lock and export organize the folder; they do not change what the audience sees in Live.
Drag the verse card from the Bible panel and release it when the destination folder is highlighted.03
Bible: find, prepare and send Scripture
Use one complete workspace for navigation, search, selection, folders and immediate Live sending.
Open Bible and navigate
The warm yellow-brown Bible button means Bible is open in Split. Bible can also remain open while its button is blue because it is in Tab out mode; blue does not simply mean “open.” Use Bible Navigator to choose the Bible, testament, book, chapter and starting verse in one panel. Changing translation keeps the passage when it is available.
Bible Navigator keeps every passage control together.
Split, Full view and Pop out
Split shares the workspace with Library. Full view gives the reader the complete SHINE workspace. Pop out opens a separate window so the main Library remains free for multitasking.
The view button opens these two exact options.
SplitPop out
Select, send or add to Library
Click a verse to select it; consecutive verses can be selected together. The blue paper-plane sends directly to Live. The folder button adds the selection to a Library folder, and the same selection may also be dragged there. Oversized direct selections are limited so text is not forced into one unreadable screen; adding the passage to Library lets SHINE divide it into usable slides.
Paper-plane = Live now · Folder = add to Library
Reference search and people or places
The main field accepts flexible Bible references even when spacing or wording is not exact. Press the people-and-places icon to switch to its brown mode; enter at least three letters, such as John, to find matching verses across available Bibles.
Search or jump to a passage
Brown icon = people and places mode
Download or add a Bible
Press the download control to open Bible management. Install an available Bible or add a Bible file you obtained legitimately and have permission to use.
Download / manage Bibles
Quick Bible in Live
Press the blue outlined Bible icon in Live when a passage is needed immediately. Type the reference, review the match and press Enter or Send. It goes straight to the selected Live screen without first creating a Library item.
Quick BibleLocated on the Live side panel
This button opens the fast Quick Send menu shown here; it is different from opening the full Bible workspace.
Tap the blue Bible icon in Live, then search, confirm and send.
Choose the route by intent: paper-plane for the audience now, folder or drag-and-drop for later organization, and Quick Bible for an unplanned passage during Live.
04
Songs: find, add and organize lyrics
Open the Songs workspace, choose how to add a song and move it into the Library folder that needs it.
Open Songs, search and choose a view
Press the blue Songs tab at the top of Library. The workspace can share the screen with Library in Split or open separately with Pop out. Search by title, use Filter to narrow the list, and select a result to reveal its Preview, Add and edit controls.
Songs
Add, search, Filter and view controls stay together inside Songs.
Add automatically or manually
Add automatically lets SHINE search available open-source pages for a matching video and lyrics, then prepare the slides for review. If no reliable lyrics are found, choose Add manually and enter the title, artist, lyrics and slide layout yourself.
Always review the selected video, lyrics, sections and slide breaks before adding the song.
Choose the route that matches the material you have.
Add “Cristo yo te amo” to Library
After the song appears in Songs, drag its card toward the Library and release it inside the highlighted destination folder. You can also select the song and press + Add. A Library folder must exist before the song can be added.

The four Live Output buttons
From left to right: Theme Photo, Quick Bible, Standby and Power Off. The active action changes color so you can identify the current Live state. The same four controls always appear at the top of Live Output.
Theme Photo
Press Theme Photo and choose the image for the service, congregation or event. When the theme is active, its button turns green and that image is shown in Live. The small trash icon then clears Theme Photo completely. Standby can cover the theme, but it does not delete it.

Connection status and common checks
Know what Online, Offline and Needs attention mean before troubleshooting.
Online: the selected installation is currently reachable.
Offline: open SHINE on the computer and confirm internet access and the same linked account.
Needs attention: the channel exists but needs a secure reconnection; it is not the same as a healthy connection.
If content does not appear, confirm the correct installation, destination folder, output screen and active Live slot before sending again.
