Position formats
Position formats allow you to create a bodycopy for a specific position in the list.
This feature allows you to change the look and feel of a particular asset in the list without affecting the other assets.
A use case for this feature is when you want to make the text for the first asset in the list larger and have a different color.
You can create a bodycopy for position 1 and change the format for that asset.
| You can use the asset positions field on the details screen to specify that a particular asset should always appear in a specific position in the list. |

You can create a position format for any position in the list.

You can also create a position format relative to the last asset in the list using negative numbers.

If you want to format the second last asset, enter -2.
