Features to help you build with speed
Content management & delivery via headless APIs
Brightspot’s platform is your ultimate toolkit for data management, content creation and delivery. This includes the ability to quickly create REST or GraphQL API endpoints to support seamless content management and distribution.
Live headless preview
Easily preview content changes across multiple channels before saving or publishing to your website. Edit an entry and instantly preview the changes side-by-side in real time. Our preview tool accommodates multiple perspectives—including different device orientations—and allows you to share previews with non-CMS users.
Content syndication
Push your content out to all channels right from the CMS where your audiences are looking for content from any device with device-agnostic composable content in over 100 languages and locales.
Intuitive content creation & publication interface
An integrated rich-text editor, versatile image tools, intuitive taxonomy features, real-time previews and advanced page management make it simple to create content. Create and manage content types, with the ability to define custom fields and relationships easily.
Configurable roles and access control
With Brightspot’s detailed permissions framework, CMS administrators have the autonomy to design roles with specific site-, tool- and content-level permissions. With this granularity, you can dictate the actions a role can perform on content or determine the visibility of specific fields. While developers can shape these permissions, there’s also the option to synchronize the CMS with your company directory, quickly automating role assignments.
Modular content
Designed for modularity and reusability, the features, functionality and tools in Brightspot empower you to consistently streamline content creation, ensuring efficiency and simplicity. Orchestrate and structure composable content to create dynamic experiences for your audiences.
