# How to Add and Associate Screens to a Store

> Learn how to associate existing screens or register new devices to a store location in Pickcel

Once a store is created, you can populate it with screens. There are two ways to add screens to a store: associate existing screens that are already registered in your account, or register a brand new device directly within the store.

<Note>
  A screen can only belong to **one store at a time**. Associating a screen with a new store will automatically remove it from its previous store.
</Note>

## Option A: Associate Existing Screens

If you have screens already registered in your Pickcel Console, you can quickly map them to your store.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Store">
    Navigate to the **Store** module and click on the store you want to add screens to.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Associate Screen">
    Inside the store details page, click the **Associate Screen** button.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Screens">
    A modal will appear showing all available screens. You can:

    * **Search** by screen name to quickly find specific devices
    * **Multi-select** multiple screens to associate them in one action
    * **Scroll** through the list to browse all available screens

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Association">
    Click **Associate** to map the selected screens to this store.

    The screens will now appear in your store's screen list and can be managed from within the store context.
