Spotlight allows analysts to:
easily capture and store articles or reports in Synapse as PDF files;
model any article as a
media:news
node;automatically extract (or suggest) and link common indicators to the article;
easily create and link additional forms and indicators; and
review, enrich, and/or tag relevant nodes, similar to working in the Research Tool.
