Brightspot CMS User Guide

Managing editorial content types


There are two ways you can search for editorial content types in Brightspot.

Search by name
To search for editorial content types by name:

  1. Click menu > Admin > Content Types.
  2. Begin entering the name of the editorial content type you are looking for in the Search field.

Search for ECTs by name

As you begin typing, the list of available editorial content types shrinks to show only those that match the text you have entered in the Search field. As you can see in the image above, entering news in the Search field shortened the list to show the three editorial content types with "news" in their name.

Viewing all editorial content types
To view all of the editorial content types available to you, click search located at the top of the Content Types widget.
