Publishing An Existing Page As A New Page - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE-USING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

Publishing an existing page as a new page

Contribute enables you to update an existing page, then publish it as a new page without
overwriting the original page. This feature is similar to the Save as feature in other applications.
For example, suppose you open the product page for men's cargo pants and start updating the
page with information about women's cargo pants. Then you realize that you forgot to make a
copy of the existing page before you made edits. As long as you don't click Publish, the original
page is unchanged. Use the Publish as New Page feature to publish the modified page as a new
page on your website.
This is possible because when you click Edit Page for an existing page, Contribute creates a copy
of the page (known as a draft) for you to edit. Saving changes to the draft does not alter the page
on your website.
To publish an existing page as a new page:
Browse to an existing page, then click the Edit Page button.
1
Make changes to the draft.
2
Select File > Publish as New Page.
3
Note: Contribute warns you if have not linked the new page from an existing page. After you publish the new
page, be sure to create a link to it (see "Linking to a draft or recently published page on your website" on
page 102).
The Publish as New Page dialog box appears.
Change the page title for the draft, if you want.
4
The page title appears in the title bar of the browser when a visitor views the page; it does not
appear in the page itself.
Change the filename for the draft, if you want.
5
The filename appears at the end of the web address for the web page.
Note: Contribute automatically changes the existing filename slightly, in case you forget to change it, so that you
do not overwrite the existing page when you publish.
Click the Choose Folder button beside the filename to save this draft in another location on
6
your website, if you want.
Note: The current folder location appears in the web address under the filename.
