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 Open a template for editing.

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.

Important: 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.
