Always Generate Permalinks | Always generates new permalinks and retains previous ones. For example, Brightspot often creates permalinks from the headline field. If an asset’s first draft has a headline cookies , the first permalink is /cookies . If the asset’s second draft has a headline cakes , the asset now has two permalinks: /cookies and /cakes . |

Enable Cross Domain Inline Editing | Inline Editor appears for all elements on a page, even those belonging to a different domain. Useful when you log in to Brightspot at one domain (such as bsp.example.com) but publish to a different domain (such as www.example.com). |
Disable Rtc | Disables the real-time communication (RTC) platform between the browser and the server. Several features rely on this platform, such as Viewers, so disabling RTC disables these features. Useful for debugging as RTC frequently changes the state of several system elements and thereby masks the sources of bugs. |
Disable Invisible Content Preview | Disables the display of invisible content, such as archived assets, in the Preview Pane. For example, an author is associated with an article, and the author’s record is subsequently archived. The author is still visible in the preview pane—but not in the published version. Marking this option prevents the archived author from appearing in the preview pane. |
Disable Work in Progress | As users type in the content edit form, Brightspot saves the incremental changes even before they click one of the save buttons in the Publish widget. Marking this option disables those interim saves. |
