Publishing Your Page; Previewing A Page In Your Default Browser - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE-USING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

Publishing a draft makes it live on your website, so that 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. If you
decide not to publish your draft, 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, 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 the draft, don't worry—you can
revert to a previous version of the page, if your website administrator has enabled the Page
Rollback feature.
