Identifying parts of the Contribute workspace
The three main areas of the Contribute workspace are the Contribute
browser/editor, the toolbar, and the sidebar.
The Contribute browser/editor
You use the main window in Contribute for browsing and editing. If you
are not sure whether you are browsing or editing in Contribute, look at the
toolbar. The toolbars are different when you are browsing and when you
are editing a draft (see
“The Contribute toolbars” on page 114 ).
When you use the Contribute browser, you can browse to any web page—
not just to pages on your website. The Contribute browser functions as a
true web browser: you can click links in web pages to browse to the page
you want to edit. You can also create bookmarks to pages that you
visit frequently.
When you use the Contribute editor, you can edit pages in websites you
have connected to. You can edit text, images, tables, links, and even pages
with frames. You can then publish your changes to make the updated web
page appear on your website.
You can browse and edit in Contribute, and switch between browsing and
editing. For more information, see
“Switching between browsing and
editing” on page 117 .
