Creating a content form
Brightspot provides the ability for you to create content forms to override default field and widget placements on an asset's content edit page.
To create a content form:

- In the Content Forms widget, select the content type for which you want to create a content form, and then click New.
- In the Name field, type a name for the form.
- From the Scope list, select one of the following:
- None—The content form is the default for all roles to which it is assigned.
- Global—The content form is the global default for all roles, replacing the one automatically generated by Brightspot.
