Making your draft available for review
When you are ready to have others review your draft, you can send a request for review and make
the draft available online. For more information about the e-mail review process, see
"Understanding the e-mail review process" on page 126.
To use the e-mail review process:
In your draft, select File > E-mail Review.
1
Contribute creates a new e-mail message in your default e-mail application.
Note: If Contribute does not find a default e-mail application or cannot launch your e-mail application, you can
create the e-mail message by clicking the Click here link in the message area under the toolbar. Copy the web
address (URL) for the draft that appears in the browser window and paste the address in an e-mail message to
send to reviewers.
In the message's To text box, enter the reviewer's e-mail address.
2
In the body of the message, add a message if you want.
3
Contribute includes a message with the web address for the temporary copy of the draft.
Send the e-mail message.
4
In Contribute, work on another draft or switch to the Contribute browser until you receive
5
feedback from the reviewer.
When you receive feedback from the reviewer, click the draft title in the Pages panel to return
6
to the draft and update it.
Note: When you cancel or publish the draft, Contribute removes the temporary copy of the draft that it placed on
the server for the reviewer.
Publishing a page to your website
After you finish editing and reviewing a draft, you are ready to publish it to your website. When
you publish a draft, Contribute makes it live on your website—and, if the page was previously
published, Contribute replaces the existing page with the updated page.
You can publish any of the following types of pages to your website:
•
Updates to an existing page
•
New page, not previously published
•
Existing page as a new page
Publishing updates to an existing page
When you publish updates to an existing page, Contribute replaces the currently published
version of the page on your website with the new version.
When Contribute publishes your draft, it also publishes any new pages that your draft links to
(but not pages that link to your draft). Contribute will prompt you to name any linked pages that
haven't been published before. Publishing all new pages that are linked from the draft helps ensure
that you do not have broken links in your website.
Note: If you need to replace an existing page on your website with a page with the same filename, delete the
existing page on your website (see "Deleting a web page" on page 43), then publish the replacement page. If you do
not have permission to delete pages, contact your website administrator.
