Creating a footer
A footer is a consistent piece of content that appears at the bottom of each page in a site. Enterprise-grade footers typically include links to general resources, such as to privacy statements and contact forms.
Footers follow the rules of content hierarchy. If you define a footer at the global level, it flows to the site level, then the section level, and finally the asset level.
The following illustration shows how Brightspot renders a footer.
