Using the Style Builder

In this topic you will learn how to use the Style Builder.

The Style Builder provides an easy to use interface that can be used to style annotations:

  • Chapter menus
  • Overlays
  • Hotspots
  • Quizzes

After the styling is complete, the changes can be published so that the styling is applied to all annotations in the account.

To access the Style Builder, follow these steps:

  1. Login to Brightcove Interactivity.
  2. In the primary navigation, click Style. The Group CSS page will display.
  3. Click USE STYLE BUILDER.

By default, when the style editor opens, the chapter menu styling options are displayed. Click an icon below the preview player to access the styling options for the other annotation types.

After styling changes for an annotation are complete, click SAVE / NEXT to save the changes and move on to styling the next annotation. Click RESET to revert the changes.
