Promos & Lists
Work with Promos (Quick Start)
Promos are some of the building blocks of Brightspot. Whenever you want to refer to another page using its title, description or image, Brightspot helps you by automatically pulling that information into a promo.
Work with Lists (Quick Start)
Use Brightspot Lists to display a list of promos. These can be dynamically generated to show things like the most recent articles, or finely controlled to specify exactly which items appear in which order.
Vertical Image List Style
Create an image list that shows photos vertically instead of horizontally.
Edit Titles for Search and Sharing
Update the page title, meta tags, promo information, and sharing information. Customize the title, description, and image that are used for SEO, internal links, and social media.
