About Bursting and Assembling Content

The terms burst and assemble have specific definitions in the context of the Lightbox content library.

  • Burst: Users burst content when they open a file in Lightbox. The act of "bursting" refers to the application displaying the individual pages of a file as it's opened. During this process, after splitting a file into individual pages, the application analyzes the pages, saves them, and creates records for them in the database.

  • Assemble: Users assemble content when they save individual pages to a cart and download them. Assembling means content with pages from one or more different files (of the same content type) is saved to the cart, potentially rearranged, and then downloaded. During assembly, in the background, the application compiles the files into a single file set.
