Creating diagrams

About diagrams
The diagram features of Adobe GoLive are powerful presentation and website creation tools. A diagram shows the
hierarchy of HTML pages within a site and the links between pages, assets, and other files. It may also contain
annotations, level indicators, custom objects, and boxes that hold text or images.
A diagram lets you lay out the structure of a site before you create real pages, and helps you manage the site creation
process. You can use multiple prototype diagrams as you build and revise a site, creating and testing designs as you
need them. You can present diagrams in print or online in Adobe PDF or SVG format. When you are ready to work
with live pages, you submit a diagram, converting its pages to actual pages in the site.
Use the View palette and the Inspector to change the look of the diagram and the appearance and behavior of objects
within it.

Setting up diagrams
When setting up a diagram, use this general workflow:
1. Set up the diagram.
Open a new diagram and use the View palette to set page, grid, and canvas options for the design view, and to specify
the appearance and labels of objects in the diagram.
2. Develop the structure of the diagram.
Add objects to the design view. You can add objects that represent pages or sections (subtrees of pages), and link them
in a hierarchy to other pages or sections.
