Chapter 11: Publishing Your Page - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE 3 - USING AND ADMINISTERING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

Publishing a draft makes it live on your website, so your website visitors can view the page.
Before you publish your draft, you can preview it in your browser. You can also make the draft
available to others for review, to get approval or feedback, before you publish the draft (see
"Getting drafts and files reviewed by others" on page
you can cancel it, leaving the published version of the page as is.
If the draft you're publishing was already on your website, Macromedia Contribute replaces the
existing page with your updated version. You can also make updates to an existing page, and then
publish it as a new page without altering the original page.
If the draft you're publishing is a new page that was not on your website, Contribute adds it to
your website. For new pages, Contribute asks you to name the file for the page before you
publish.
After you publish a draft, if you realize that you need to unpublish it, don't worry—you can undo
publishing by reverting to a previous version of the page if your Contribute administrator has
enabled the Page Rollback feature.
