Where The Follow Action Appears
For users who are not the playlist owner, BeatPass currently supports:- Follow and Following on the playlist page
- Follow and Unfollow in the playlist context menu
What Following Does
- Adds the playlist to your playlist library.
- Lets you reopen it quickly from your account’s playlist list.
- Keeps you on the original playlist rather than a duplicate.
What Following Does Not Do
- It does not let ordinary followers add or remove tracks.
- It does not let ordinary followers rename the playlist or change its image, description, privacy, or collaboration settings.
- It does not guarantee a dedicated playlist-update notification feed.
Unfollowing
Normal unfollowing is simple:- Open the playlist or its context menu.
- Use Following or Unfollow.
- BeatPass removes the playlist from your library list.
Special Case: Collaborative Editors
If you are an accepted collaborator instead of a plain follower:- The playlist can still show the Following state.
- Unfollowing uses a confirmation flow because you are leaving the collaboration.
- Confirming that action removes your editor access.
