# Re-create the Spotlight when the release changes

Published: 2026-09-05 - Runtime: 0:46 - Area: Spotlight trailers - Tags: Spotlight trailers

When a release's bites change, its Spotlight trailer no longer matches, so the Spotlight detects the gap and prompts you to rebuild it. One click generates a fresh trailer, using the same magic-or-manual choice as the original creation, while the old Spotlight and its links stay live.

Rebuild the Spotlight trailer with one click whenever bites are added, swapped, or removed from a release.

## What changed

The Spotlight now tracks changes to a release's bites and flags when the trailer is out of date, prompting a one-click rebuild instead of requiring a fresh Spotlight from scratch.

## Why it matters

You can update a release's trailer to match its current bites without extra manual tracking, and without breaking existing Spotlight links or losing the old version.

## Steps

1. Add or remove a bite from a release
2. Wait for the Spotlight section to flag the gap and prompt a rebuild
3. Click to rebuild the trailer
4. Choose magic or manual creation, same as the original
5. Ship the change so the page plays the new trailer

## Questions

### What triggers a Spotlight rebuild prompt?

Adding or removing a bite from a release causes the release to outrun its trailer, which triggers the rebuild prompt.

### Do old Spotlight links break after a rebuild?

No, the old Spotlight stays in your list and links keep working.

### How do I rebuild the trailer?

One click replaces the old trailer with a fresh one, using the same two creation options as the first time: magic or your own hands.

### Will the rebuild happen automatically?

The section updates and asks for a rebuild, but you choose to trigger the one-click rebuild yourself.
