Editing a web page or blog entry in Contribute from your browser
To edit a web page or blog entry in Contribute from your browser:
1
Open or navigate to the web page, blog, or individual blog entry in your browser.
Note:
You must have a connection to your website or blog before you edit a web page or blog entry in your browser. See
“Creating a website connection” on page 183 and “Creating a blog server connection” on page 184.
2
Click Edit in Contribute.
3
If you browsed to a blog home page, then select a blog entry to edit in the Entries pop-up menu.
The web page or blog entry opens as a draft in the Contribute editor. You can now edit this page or entry.
Note:
If you see the Create Connection button when Contribute opens the page or entry, then you do not have a
connection to the website or blog you were browsing and you cannot edit.
Undoing mistakes
In Contribute, as in most applications, you can undo individual mistakes as you make them. You can also redo an
edit if you decide that you don’t want to undo it.
Note:
In Contribute, you can also discard changes, after you publish your draft, by reverting to a previously published
version of a page. For more information, see “Rolling back to a previous version of a page” on page 166.
To undo an edit:
•
Select Edit > Undo.
To redo an edit:
•
Select Edit > Redo.
Saving drafts
You can save a draft while you work (see “Saving a draft while you work” on page 40), or you can save a draft and
switch to another draft or to the browser (see “Saving a draft” on page 41).
Saving a draft while you work
Contribute automatically saves a copy of your draft when you switch to the browser, switch to another draft, publish
the draft, or exit Contribute; but you can also periodically save your work if you want.
When you edit a page or blog entry (see “Editing existing web pages and blog entries” on page 37), Contribute
automatically saves the page or blog entry as a draft, and the draft title appears in the Pages panel in the sidebar.
