Brightspot gives the capability to modify a published page and save it without having to publish it right away. With revisions, comparison can be made between the changed and live sites and allows as a way to keep track of changes or eventually revert back to an old revision if the new changes end up being unsatisfactory.
Revisions
To start a revision click on the three-button dropdown to the right of Publish.
Click on Start Revision. This will make a copy of the current page you are on that you can modify and makes whatever changes are needed.
Renaming the revision is also very useful in keeping track of what changes were made and keeping a history of how the page was changed. To rename a revision, in the top left of the page content, there is a yellow bar that says Name Revision. Click on it to modify its name.
Similar to a draft you can save your revision and come back to it later. Be advised, however, whenever the revision is saved and the page is left, when coming back to the page it will NOT automatically open the revision. If editing the page begins without reopening the draft it will be modifying the page itself.
History
History is this context means all the revisions and publishing that have been done on the particular page or content piece. The history can also be used to select the old revisions to continue editing.
Regardless of content type, on the far right there is a collum that shows URLs, Sites, and at the bottom, Revisions. Here, there will be a list of all revisions and publishings made to the specific content. These may be selected and viewed to see changes that were made previsously. Hence. the importance of naming your revisions, if a review is ever needed on past changes.
If for whatever reason an old revision needs to be edited. Click on the three dots to the right of the revision and choose Edit Revision.
