2 Click a button to select one of the options, make any changes you need to make, and click Done.
New Enables you to create a new site. When you click the New button the Site Setup dialog box opens, letting you
name and specify the location for your new site. For more information, see Set up a local version of your site .
Edit Enables you to edit information such as username, password, and server information for an existing
Dreamweaver site. Select the existing site in the site list on the left and click the Edit button to edit the existing site.
For more information on editing existing site options, see
Connect to a remote server .
Duplicate Creates a copy of an existing site. To duplicate a site, select the site in the site list on the left and click the
Duplicate button. The duplicated site appears in the site list with the word “copy” appended to the name of the site.
To change the name of the duplicated site, leave the site selected and click the Edit button.
Remove Deletes the selected site and all of its setup information from your list of Dreamweaver sites; it does not
delete the actual site files. (If you want to remove the site files from your computer, you need to do that manually.)
To delete a site from Dreamweaver, select the site in the site list and then click the Remove button. You cannot undo
this action.
Export/Import Enables you to either export the selected site’s settings as an XML file (*.ste), or import a site’s
settings. For more information, see Import and export site settings .
Note: The import feature only imports site settings that have previously been exported. It does not import site files to
create a new Dreamweaver site. For information on creating a new site in Dreamweaver, see
Set up a local version of
your site .

Set up a testing server
If you plan to develop dynamic pages, Dreamweaver needs the services of a testing server to generate and display
dynamic content while you work. The testing server can be your local computer, a development server, a staging server,
or a production server.
Dreamweaver automatically syncs dynamic documents to your testing server when you open, create, or save changes
made to dynamic documents. For more information, see
Set up a testing server
