Creating a revision

You can create a revision of an asset you already published.

To create a revision:

1. Search for an open the asset for which you want to create a new revision.

2. In the side toolbar, open the Version History widget and click Start New Revision. (In versions prior to v4.8, this widget is named the Revisions widget). The New Revision widget appears.

   

3. Type a name for the revision and click Create. Brightspot does the following:
   
   • Adds the new revision to the Version History widget.
   • Lists the new revision in the Recent Revisions banner when editing previously live revisions.
4. In the content edit form, modify the revision. As you save the revision, you can compare it with the currently live version by clicking Compare to Live.
5. Complete your site's workflow and publish the asset.

The following example shows that a revision is in progress.
