16 Chapter 2: Getting Started
2. Edit your content.
After you browse to the page you want to edit, click the Edit Page button
in the toolbar to open the page in the Contribute editor. Contribute copies the file from your web
server and locks it on the server so that no one else can edit the page while you’re working on it.
The Contribute editor works much as a word processor does. You can edit text, images, tables,
and links on the page, and you can even add Microsoft Word or Excel documents to your website.
The toolbar contains familiar editing buttons, plus buttons for saving your edits until later,
canceling your edits, or publishing your edits to the website.
3. Publish the changes.
When you finish editing your page, you are ready to publish the page
to your website. Simply click the Publish button, and Contribute replaces the existing page on
your web server with your edited version so that it is live on your website. Contribute also unlocks
the file on the server so that other users can edit the page if necessary.
Note: Depending on your role, you might not be able to publish. In that case, you should use the Send
for Review option to transfer the draft to another user.
Setup requirements
Before you install Contribute, make sure your computer meets the minimum hardware and
software requirements.
Your computer must be connected to the Internet. If you are connecting to the Internet from a
business location, you may be connecting through a local area network (LAN). Many home or
small business computers connect to the Internet through an Internet service provider (ISP), such
as Earthlink or America Online. If you can read e-mail or browse the web, you have an Internet
connection.
In addition to having an Internet connection, you need the system requirements to run
Contribute. For more information, see
