8. Work with Lists

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.

7. Work with Promos

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.

6. Add an Image While Editing

If you're in the middle of editing a page you don't want to go back to the dashboard to add an image before you can use it in your page. Brightspot has you covered.
