Brightspot CMS User Guide

Performing pre-publish actions


In standard versions of Brightspot 4.5.3 or later, pre-publish actions are available if the asset has default descriptions for promos, SEO text, or social-networking share.

Tip
You can use pre-publish actions as prompts for other parts of an asset's workflow, such as those described in the section "Scenarios for pre-publish actions" in Pre-publishing actions. To implement pre-publish actions for your organization's processes, contact your Brightspot representative.


To override default descriptions before publication:

  1. Create the asset, and then click Publish. The Before You Publish widget appears.

    Pre-publishing actions widget Pre-publishing actions widget

  2. In the Before You Publish widget, expand the accordions and modify the text for SEO, promo, and share.
    Note
    As of Brightspot v4.8, you can use the Create with AI feature to assist you in generating text for these fields. If AI is used for these fields, Brightspot labels them appropriately as AI Generated. For details on enabling this feature, see Create with AI developer prerequisites.
  3. Click Continue.

Brightspot publishes the asset using the overrides.

Note
If you want to cancel the publish, click Cancel.

See Enabling pre-publishing actions for more information on enabling this feature.
