To add an existing file to a site
❖ Do one of the following:
•
Drag the file from your desktop into the Files tab in the site window.
• Move the file into the site’s root folder on your desktop. Then select the site window and click the Refresh View
button
in the toolbar.
•
Select the Files tab in the site window. Then choose File > Import > Files To Site. In the dialog box, locate and select
the desired file, and click Open. If prompted, click OK to copy the file and update the site.
Note:
When you create a new page, GoLive automatically adds a meta element that defines the character encoding for
text to the head section of the page. If a page does not contain the element, GoLive displays a dialog box when you open
the page so that you can temporarily use a default encoding or set the character encoding for the page.

Locking and unlocking files
You can use GoLive to unlock files that were locked in the Mac OS Finder or given a Read Only attribute in the
Windows Properties dialog box. If you import a site with locally locked files, you’ll need to unlock them before you
can edit them. If the files are hidden in Windows Explorer, you need to show them before you can edit them.
Local file locking applies only to the platform where it is applied. For example, if you create a site in Mac OS and lock
its HTML files, the files will not be locked when you upload the site to a UNIX® or Windows server. Local file locking
does not apply to files on a WebDAV server.
To unlock a locked or read-only file
1
Double-click the file in the site window.
2 Make a change to the file. When GoLive returns the message “The file [file name] is read-only. Would you like to
make it writable?” click Yes.
To unlock multiple files, select them in the site window. Then, in Windows, choose Site > Explorer > Show Object
Information, and deselect Read-Only in the Properties dialog box. In Mac OS, choose Site > Finder > Show Object
Information, and deselect Locked in the Info dialog box.
