1. In the Quick Start widget, click settings .

To "favorite" content types and assets on the Quick Start widget:

In order to make the content types and assets you use most frequently easily accessible to you, Brightspot allows you to select items as your "favorite." Items that have been "favorited" show up in the leftmost spots of the Quick Start widget to eliminate the need for scrolling to find them.

1. Open Brightspot to display the Quick Start widget.

2. Hover over a content type or asset you want to "favorite," and click the star located in the upper-right corner.

   

3. Refresh your browser. The "favorited" items now show up on the left side of the Quick Start widget.
