Importing assets from a Google Doc


You can import articles, blog posts, and documents into Brightspot from a Google Doc.

To import assets from a Google Doc:

  1. In the header, click the search field to open the search panel.
  2. Under Global Filters, in the Any Content Type filter, under External Types, select Google Drive File. Brightspot displays a list of Google Drive files.

  3. Click the title of the Google Doc you want to import into Brightspot.
  4. Under the Converter list, select one of the following:
    • Google Doc to Article—Imports the Google Doc as an article draft.
    • Google Doc to Blog Post—Imports the Google Doc as a blog post draft.
    • Google Doc to Document—Imports the Google Doc as a document draft.
      Caution
      As imported files approach or exceed 100MB, there is an increased possibility of a timeout occurring. For best results, reduce the file's size before initiating an import.
      Note
      Using this menu, you can also import the Google Drive file as a general digital asset. For details, see Importing Google Drive files as DAM assets.

    Note
    Any changes you make to an imported Google Drive file in Brightspot are not reflected in the source file.
