Saving Changes to Pages


After your page content has been edited and the appropriate page elements added, Contribute offers a variety of options for saving the changes. Rather than simply save the page changes and have the page become live immediately, you can choose from the following options:

  • Publish When you click the Publish button on the Contribute toolbar, the changes are immediately visible to site visitors. When a page has been published successfully, Contribute notifies you that of the success by displaying the notice shown in Figure 31.26.

    Figure 31.26. This notice indicates that the page has been successfully published.

  • Send for Review Sending the page for review enables you to either send a link to the page to someone via email or send an actual draft of the page to another Contribute user. When you choose this option, the Send for Review dialog box, shown in Figure 31.27, lets you designate the reviewer and add an additional description of the changes to the document for his or her review.

    Figure 31.27. The Send for Review dialog box enables you to send a copy of the page or a link to the page to another person.

  • Save for Later This creates a draft of the page and enables you to revisit the page later to make additional edits. Saving the page for later has no effect on the actual live version of the page. When a draft is created, an entry for that draft is added to the Draft Console in the Pages panel, as shown in Figure 31.28.

  • Cancel This option allows you to cancel all changes and close the page.

As you can see, using Contribute to edit and manage pages is extremely easy. Although the program might not have the complex authoring tools contained in Dreamweaver, it provides quick, easy access to content editing features that make updating a website an easy task for just about anyone.
