Global site settings
The Global site has many settings that serve two purposes: configuring Brightspot and providing defaults for lower levels in the content hierarchy.
Tip
The tables in the topic below define the fields you find at the Global level. Many fields are at the Global level only; however, some fields also exist at the Site level (for which there is a note in the field description denoting such).
In these cases, the fields are tied to hierarchy. If such a field is set at the Global level, it cascades down to all sites, and all sites therefore inherit the setting. If you want a setting like this to only apply to certain sites, you must configure it at the Site level.

For a list of settings that do not exist at the Global level but do exist at the site level, see Site-specific settings. These two topics were designed to be used together to supply information about most Sites & Settings fields in a standard implementation of Brightspot.

Generated Content Detectors | This feature sets a similarity threshold to determine if content should be flagged as AI-generated. When content is created using the Create with AI feature, the system compares the original AI-generated text with any subsequent edits. If the edited text differs from the original AI text by more than the threshold (e.g., 75%), the system will no longer flag it as AI-generated content.
