Undoing mistakes

In Contribute, as in most applications, you can undo individual mistakes as you make them. You
can also redo an edit if you decide that you don't want to undo it.
Note: In Contribute, you can also discard changes, after you publish your draft, by reverting to a previously
published version of a page if you need to. For more information, see "Rolling back to a previous version of a page"
on page 131.
To undo an edit:
•
Select Edit > Undo.
To redo an edit:
•
Select Edit > Redo.

Saving drafts

You can save a draft while you work (see "Saving a draft while you work" on page 37), or you can
save a draft and switch to another draft or to the browser ("Saving a draft until later" on page 37).

Saving a draft while you work

When you edit a page (see "Editing existing web pages" on page 36), Contribute automatically
saves the page as a draft, and the draft title appears in the Pages panel in the sidebar. Contribute
continues to save your draft as you work on it, but you can also periodically save your work if
you want.
To save a draft and continue working:
•
Select File > Save.
Note: When you save a new page for the first time, you do not give it a filename; you select a filename when you
publish the new page.

Saving a draft until later

You can save a draft you're editing and work on another draft, switch to browsing, or close
Contribute. Contribute saves your draft anytime you leave it, and keeps the draft in the Pages
panel until you publish (see "Publishing Your Page" on page 125) or cancel (see "Canceling a
draft or new page" on page 43) it.
To save a draft until later:
Do one of the following to leave your draft:

•
Click Browser in the sidebar to switch to the browser.
•
Select View > Browser to switch to the browser.
•
Click the Save for Later button in the toolbar to close the draft and switch to the browser.
•
Click another draft or new page in the Pages panel to edit that page.
•
Close Contribute.
