User Guide
You use color highlighting to show the difference between locked and editable regions. New pages based on a
template are automatically updated whenever you make changes to the template (content in the editable regions is
not affected).
Note:
You can use co-author templates to design a site that others can update using a simple, streamlined story editor.
For more information, see “The Co-Author feature” on page 453.
Creating a page template
You use the Template Regions palette to mark regions of the page as editable. You can create two types of editable
regions: paragraphs or inline selections within a paragraph. When a region is marked as an inline text style, you can’t
insert paragraphs in the region—in other words, you can type in the region but you can’t press return to start a new
paragraph.
You can lock or unlock everything in the template that is not marked as an editable region and use the Highlight tab
of the View palette to set the color highlighting for locked and editable regions. (Regardless of whether you lock the
uneditable regions in the template or not, these regions are automatically locked in all pages created from the
template.)
Use Smart Objects for images in your page templates. If you resize a Smart Object in a template, GoLive automati
cally resizes and optimizes its web image in every page that’s connected to the template.
