Understanding the e-mail review process
The Contribute e-mail review process uses your default e-mail application to create a message
containing a web address where reviewers can see a temporary copy of your draft. Contribute
automatically creates the temporary copy on the same server where you publish your website. The
recipient clicks the web address (URL) link in the e-mail message to view your draft.
Note: If you belong to a role that cannot publish, then you cannot use the e-mail review process. In
that case, use the draft review process (see
When you send an e-mail review request, Contribute displays a message under the toolbar to alert
you that you sent the draft for review; the message includes the date you sent the review request.
You can then save the draft for later, until you get feedback from your reviewer, or you can
continue editing the draft.
After reviewing your draft, the reviewer can send you feedback by e-mail. The reviewer cannot
edit the review draft. You can make changes to your draft based on the reviewer's feedback, and
then publish the draft or request another review. When the draft is canceled or published,
Contribute removes the temporary copy of the draft that it placed on the server for the reviewer.

About templates
A Macromedia Dreamweaver template contains a preset page layout and includes elements such
as text and images. A template gives you a starting point for new web pages and can ensure that
the pages on your website have a consistent look.
For example, the company employee template might contain basic elements and provide sections
for employee information. Suppose the template has the company logo and address, and blank
sections for the employee's name, department, phone number, and picture. Any new employee
page based on the company employee template inherits the same page layout.
