Contribute freezes when sending a connection key
If you use a web-based e-mail account (such as Hotmail or Yahoo!) or an e-mail application that
Contribute is unable to recognize, the Export Connection Wizard (Windows) or Export
Connection Assistant (Macintosh) freezes when you try to automatically attach and send the
connection key by e-mail.
To prevent this, save the connection key to your local computer and manually attach it to an
e-mail message that you create using your e-mail application.
A web page is inadvertently deleted
If a user inadvertently deletes a web page from the web server, you can recreate the page from the
rollback copies maintained on the web server. To do this, rollbacks must be enabled, and the
option to delete all rollback copies of a page must not be selected. To learn more about page
rollbacks, see "Enabling and disabling rollbacks" on page
To replace a deleted web page:
Browse to the deleted page using Contribute.
1.
To do this, you can either enter the URL of the page or click a link on an existing page that
links to the deleted page. When you do this, the web server responds with an HTTP 404 error
(page not found).
Note: Some web servers are configured so that they redirect you to the website's home page or a
customized error page if a "file not found" error is encountered. If this happens, you can manually
copy the page from the _baks directory located at the root of the Contribute website.
Select File > Actions > Roll Back to Previous Version.

The Roll Back Page dialog box appears.
Select a previous version of the published page from the list of available pages.

Note: The list of previously published pages displays as many as 99 of the previous versions of the
page.
Contribute displays the page in the Preview section.
