Snippets are reusable assets within Brightspot's knowledge management. See Snippet for more information.

Snippets are added to other assets from the rich-text editor.

To add a snippet to an asset:

  1. Search for an existing asset to which you want to add a snippet, or create a new one.
  2. In the rich-text editor, place your cursor where you would like the snippet to appear.
  3. In the rich-text toolbar, click post_add.

    • If the snippet you are looking for is not in this list, you can type the letters of the name of the snippet in the Search field. The list updates with snippets that match the text you enter. Once it is in the list, you can click it to add it to your topic.
