Creating a hierarchical structure
When you import a site, GoLive automatically analyzes the links in pages and examines the structure of folders to
create a hierarchical structure for the site. This process is called
solving a hierarchy . The initial structure is based on
both the pattern of links present on site pages and the hierarchy of the web-content folder’s subfolders. The structure
also contains pending links as well as actual links; that is, it contains a record of every parent-child or sibling-sibling
relationship possible given the actual hierarchy.
You should solve a hierarchy if you have made changes in your site outside GoLive, or if you want to base the site’s
navigational structure on different principles. For example, if the hierarchy of the web-content folder’s subfolders has
nothing to do with the site’s navigational logic, you might want to base the structure entirely on links.
To solve the hierarchy of a site
1 Open a navigation view of the site.
2
Choose Diagram > Solve Hierarchy.
3 Select options as necessary:
Links Extrapolates the hierarchy from the pattern of links in the site’s pages.
Folder Hierarchy Bases the hierarchy on the hierarchy of the web-content folder’s subfolders.
Use Folder Hierarchy if you designed the actual folder hierarchy to reflect the hierarchy of the site’s pages.
Editing links and URLs sitewide
Changing all site URLs or links at once
A site can contain many links to a web page and many URLs that reference media files, external URLs, or e-mail
addresses. If you need to change the destination file referenced in all of these links or URLs, you can change them all
at once without opening the pages they appear on. For example, you might need to change all URLs to a repeated
background image.
Sitewide link editing can’t be undone, so use the feature carefully. For example, don’t replace a referenced image
without making sure that the new image has exactly the same size and width-to-height proportions as the one you
want to replace.
Using the In & Out Links palette to view links
The In & Out Links palette is a powerful link management tool that graphically shows you the links or file references
to or from a selected file or item in the site window. It is especially useful for troubleshooting link errors listed in the
Errors tab of the site window, and showing all of the pages linked to a missing file. You can also create a site map by
printing the contents of the In & Out Links palette.
You can use the In & Out Links palette with any file or non-file item in the web-content folder—that is, with any file
or item listed in the Files, External, Colors, Font Sets, CSS, Extras, Collections, or Errors tabs in the site window. For
example, you can use the In & Out Links palette to show the files that use a color listed in the Colors tab, or use a
cascading stylesheet located in the CSS tab. You can also use the In & Out Links palette with a file in the navigation
and links views, or with a diagram in the Design tab in the diagram window.
