If your draft does not link to any new pages, Contribute publishes the draft to your website,
then displays it in the Contribute browser.
If your page links to any new pages, the Publish Linked New Files dialog box appears.
For each unpublished linked page (click the page name to select it), change the filename and

folder location if you want, then click Publish All.
The filename appears at the end of the web address for the web page. The web address is the
location where Contribute saves the page on your website.

Rolling back to a previous version of a page

To provide an extra degree of safety in publishing, Contribute enables you to use the page
Rollback feature to undo any page you publish.
Note: The Rollback feature is not available if your website administrator has disabled it.
For information about rollbacks, see "About rollbacks" on page 131. For information about using
the feature to roll back a page, see "Using the page Rollback feature" on page 132.

About rollbacks

You can use the Rollback feature to revert to a previous version of any published page. You do not
have to roll back to the last published version; you can select any version that Contribute has
saved as a rollback file.
When you roll back to a previous version of a page, Contribute reverts to the previous text
contained in the version of the page you select. However, any assets imported into the page may
or may not be recovered.
For example, if you update an image file outside of Contribute, then replace the original image with
another image using the same filename, Contribute cannot roll back to the previous version of the
image. This is because Contribute does not manage assets outside of the web pages it creates.
Contribute does, however, maintain the older version of an image if you use Contribute to edit
the image in an external application. Contribute considers images, Microsoft Word documents,
and other content that you edit in an external application as assets. You can roll back assets that
you've edited through Contribute the same way that you roll back pages.
For example, suppose you roll back from version C of a page to version A, and you used Contribute
to edit an image in version B. When you roll back to version A, you will not see the current version
of the image. You need to also roll back the image, independently of the page rollback.
