This method of renaming works in the same way as renaming a file in Windows Explorer (Windows) or the Finder
(Macintosh). As with Windows Explorer and the Finder, be sure to pause briefly between clicks. Do not double-click
the name, because that opens the template for editing.
4 Click in another area of the Asset panel, or press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) for the change to take
effect.
An alert asks if you want to update documents that are based on this template.
5 To update all documents in the site that are based on this template, click Update. Click Don’t Update if you do not
want to update any document based on this template.
Change a template description
The template description appears in the New Document dialog box when you’re creating a page from an existing
template.
1 Select Modify > Templates > Description.
2 In the Template Description dialog box, edit the description and click OK.
Manually update documents based on templates
When you make a change to a template, Dreamweaver prompts you to update the documents based on the template,
but you can manually update the current document or the entire site if necessary. Manually updating template-based
documents is the same as reapplying the template.
Apply template changes to the current template-based document
1 Open the document in the Document window.
2 Select Modify > Templates > Update Current Page.
Dreamweaver updates the document with any template changes.
Update the entire site or all documents that use a specified template
You can update all the pages in the site, or only update pages for a specific template.
1 Select Modify > Templates > Update Pages.
2 In the Look In menu, do one of the following:
• To update all the files in the selected site to their corresponding templates, select Entire Site, then select the site
name from the adjacent pop-up menu.
• To update files for a specific template, select Files That Use, then select the template name from the adjacent
pop-up menu.
3 Make sure Templates is selected in the Update option.
4 If you don’t want to see a log of the files Dreamweaver updates, deselect the Show Log option; otherwise, leave that
option selected.
5 Click Start to update the files as indicated. If you selected the Show Log option, Dreamweaver provides information
about the files it attempts to update, including information on whether they were updated successfully.
6 Click Close.
