# Watchlist

Watchlist is a set-like feature.

It’s the safest feature to start with.

### Controls

* **Enable**: toggles watchlist syncing.
* **Add**: add missing items to target.
* **Remove**: remove items missing on source.

AniList pairs can show extra watchlist options.

See [AniList pair options](/crosswatch/settings/configure-pairs/anilist-pair-options.md).

### AniList watchlist behavior

Resolved items are added to AniList **Planning**.

Items blocked by **Anime-only sync** are skipped.

CW records unresolved watchlist items in local state.

That reduces repeated retries on later runs.

### Jellyfin/Emby watchlist mode

Jellyfin/Emby don’t have a native “watchlist”.

CW emulates it via:

* **Favorites** (recommended)
* **Playlist**
* **Collection**

{% hint style="info" %}
Prefer **Favorites** or **Collection**.

Avoid **Playlist** unless you need it.
{% endhint %}

### Nuvio watchlist behavior

Nuvio uses its **Library** as the CrossWatch watchlist.

Watchlist sync supports movies and shows. It does not support seasons or episodes.

Enable removals only after validating a dry run. A removal deletes the title from the Nuvio Library.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.crosswatch.app/crosswatch/settings/configure-pairs/features/watchlist.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
