Editing page elements not in editable areas
Contribute enables you to access pages and files associated with your website that you can't
browse to. Use the Choose button in the toolbar (after the address bar) to access pages and files
that are saved in a website folder, but aren't linked from any page on your website. The most

To edit the left navigation:
1. In the Contribute browser or editor, select View > Choose File on Website or click the
