Overview of topics

Topics are collections of related informational messages. When certain events occur, Brightspot creates a message and adds it to the corresponding topic. Brightspot accumulates messages in the following topics:

Assignment Desk—Every time an editor creates or updates a pitch or assignment, Brightspot adds a corresponding message to the Assignment Desk topic.

Conversation—Every time an editor posts to an asset’s conversation, Brightspot checks if other editors are mentioned in the post. If so, Brightspot adds a corresponding message to the conversation topic.

Publish—Every time an editor publishes an asset, Brightspot adds a corresponding message to the publish topic.

Translation—Every time a translation transitions from one status to another (such as from Pending to Complete), Brightspot adds a corresponding message to the translation topic.

Workflow—Every time content transitions from one status to another in a workflow, Brightspot adds a corresponding message to the workflow topic.
