Inserting shared assets into a web page

Contribute enables you to insert images, Macromedia Flash content, or Macromedia
Dreamweaver library items from a list of shared assets for your website.
Your Contribute administrator adds assets to the list so they are available to most or all users.
Then you can simply insert assets from the list as you need them.
For example, suppose you need to add the official company logo to your draft. As long as your
Contribute administrator has added the logo to the list of shared assets for your role, you can
easily find the approved logo and add it to your page. For more information, see
