Update templates in a Contribute site
Contribute users can’t make changes to a Dreamweaver template. You can, however, use Dreamweaver to change a
template for a Contribute site
Keep these factors in mind when updating templates in a Contribute site:
• Contribute retrieves new and changed templates from the site only when Contribute starts up and when a
Contribute user changes their connection information. If you make changes to a template while a Contribute user
is editing a file based on that template, the user won’t see the changes to the template until they restart Contribute.
• If you remove an editable region from a template, a Contribute user editing a page based on that template might be
confused about what to do with the content that was in that editable region.
To update a template in a Contribute site, complete the following steps.
1
Open the Contribute template in Dreamweaver, edit it, and then save it. For instructions, see
2
Notify all of the Contribute users who are working on the site to restart Contribute.
Delete a template file
1
In the Assets panel (Window > Assets), select the Templates category on the left side of the panel
.
2
Click the name of the template to select it.
3
Click the Delete button
at the bottom of the panel, then confirm that you want to delete the template.
Note: After you delete a template file, you can’t retrieve it. The template file is deleted from your site.
Documents that are based on a deleted template are not detached from the template; they retain the structure and
editable regions that the template file had before it was deleted. You can convert such a document into an HTML
file without editable or locked regions.
