Aragon Research positions Brightspot in the Leader section of the Aragon Research Globe™ for Content Experience Platforms, 2025

Revisions

When an asset is created, it begins as a draft. Once a draft is saved or published, all subsequent updates to the asset are revisions.

In fact, Brightspot saves every version of your content and logs it in the Version History widget. (In versions prior to v4.8, this widget is named the Revisions widget). States included in the widget include:

  • The live version of the asset, if the asset has been published.
  • Current and previous drafts, including any that are scheduled.
  • Current and previous revisions, including any that are scheduled.
  • Revision-specific history, accessible by clicking keyboard_arrow_down.
