How do I copy a site within Brightspot?

Open the main tab under Sites & Settings and set the toggle to “Allow Site Copy.” Select the gear icon in the top right hand corner and select “Copy This Site.” Adjust the site title, URL, and any site settings as needed. Remember that this feature copies the site set up, but individual pages and content may need to be copied, shared, or recreated in the new site.

To find published pages within a site, enter the name of the published page in the search bar. Pages may also be linked within other pages on Brightspot, but if they are not connected to anything or showing on any menus in the site, the page can be found through the search bar on the Brightspot dashboard.
