How to start a Spark session

There are several ways you can interact with Spark within Squiz Content Management.

Before you start

  • Check that Spark is activated. Read Turn spark on and off for more information about this topic.
  • Check that your Squiz DXP user account is permitted to use Spark. Read Control who can use Spark for more information about this topic.

If you want to create the page in a specific place, open that location in the asset tree first.

Spark offers the asset you have open as a recommended location.

Open Spark from the Spark button

  1. Sign in to Squiz Content Management.
  2. Select the green Spark button.
  3. If Spark asks you to connect, follow the steps in Connect to Spark.

Spark opens as a panel and shows the Squiz Spark start screen with the options New page and New page from template.

Open Spark from the new content page dialog

  1. In the asset tree, select the asset that you want the new page to sit under.
  2. Start creating a new content page.

    The Create new Content Page dialog opens.

  3. Select Use Spark Page Building Assistant.

    Spark opens with your selected asset ready to use as the page location.

Select Create yourself with our visual page builder to build the page without Spark. You can always work with Spark later on the page if you want help.
