Brightspot CMS User Guide

Version History widget


After you save or publish the first draft of an asset, Brightspot displays the Version History widget in the content edit page. (In versions prior to v4.8, this widget is named the Revisions widget). This widget lists the following:

  • The live version of the asset (if the asset has been published)
  • Current and previous drafts, including any that are scheduled
  • Current and previous revisions, including any that are scheduled
  • The audience the revision applies to (if applicable)
  • Revision-specific history (accessible by clicking keyboard_arrow_down)
  • Workflow transitions involving the asset
  • Comments left when transitioning the asset through a workflow

For each version, the Version History widget lists the time it was saved and the user who saved it. The following illustration provides some examples of entries in the Version History widget.

Clicking more_horiz next to a version displays the revision menu with a list of actions available to you for that specific version.
