How to create a blueprint at the space level.

The value and power of blueprints comes from the ability to ask the user to populate a given substitution field, and then populating that field throughout the pages of the blueprinted space. Therefore, before you begin building your space blueprint, you'll want to consider the substitution fields you'll want to employ and what pages will exist in your space.

Once you're familiar with the .json file, substitution fields, and the basics of blueprints, you can begin creating a space blueprint.

You will need to have the Brikit Blueprint Maker app installed and have administrative permissions in order to create a blueprint.
