Working in Contribute

Macromedia® Contribute is both a web browser and editor in one. Use the Contribute browser to view websites just as you would any other web browser. When used as an editor, Contribute enables you to easily update content. You can add new pages, edit text, and insert new images, as well as import content from Microsoft® Office documents directly into your web pages.

Browse, edit, and publish documents

Macromedia Contribute lets you easily locate pages in your website, update them, and then publish your changes with the click of a button.

To update your website using Contribute:

If you haven’t already done so, create a connection to the website.

1. In the Contribute browser, browse to the page you want to edit.

2. Click the Edit Page button on the toolbar to begin editing.

3. Macromedia Contribute automatically opens a draft copy of the page.

4. When you’re done editing the draft, click Publish to save your work and make your new information available.

1 . Browse to your page

The Contribute browser works like a standard web browser, letting you:

• Navigate to websites and locate pages by clicking links
• Refresh pages to see updates
• Reload pages you’ve visited using Back and Forward buttons
• Enter website addresses in the Address field

Using the Contribute browser, you can visit a website by entering its web address in the Address field in the toolbar. You can browse to any website with Contribute, but you can only edit the pages of sites that you’ve created connections to.
