Editing web page source in an external application

You can edit web page source in an external application to make quick modifications or to do testing, such as link
checking or accessibility testing. Contribute opens the source in an external editing application.
Note: If your Contribute administrator has not enabled source editing, you cannot edit the source in an external appli-
cation. For information, talk to your Contribute administrator.
Important: Editing web page source in an external application is very different than the editing experience in
Contribute. If you are unsure about editing the source directly, talk to your Contribute administrator.
To edit a web page's source in an external application:
In the Contribute browser or editor, view the page you want to edit the source for.
1
Select File > Actions > Edit Page Source in External Application.
2
Contribute displays the External Application Editing page and starts an external editing application.
In the external application, make changes as necessary, and then save your changes and close the file or appli-
3
cation.
Important: Be careful when you edit web page source—you can easily alter style and formatting and get unexpected
results. If you are unsure about editing the source directly, talk to your Contribute administrator.
In Contribute, do one of the following:
4
• Click the Edit in Contribute link on the External Application Editing page to reload the draft in Contribute.
This option lets you see your changes and resume editing.
Note: If Contribute warns you that you must save and close the file in the external application, click OK.
• Click the Launch link on the External Application Editing page to reopen the content in the external editor.
This option lets you make additional changes, and provides a convenient way to switch back and forth between
Contribute and the external editing application.
• Click the Publish button in the toolbar to publish your changes to the website.
• Click the Send for Review button to send the draft to another user to review your changes.
• Click the Discard Draft button if you want to discard the changes after editing in an external application.
