Configuring an Apple News stylesheet
Brightspot gives you the option to import an existing article.json
file to configure how your articles display in Apple News; however, you may opt to make additional changes beyond what is stipulated in this article.json
file, or you may not have a file like this in the first place. In these cases, you can configure Apple News stylesheets manually in Brightspot. For more information on Apple News and JSON files, see .
