Editing A Template-Based Page - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE-USING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

In a template, the designer creates regions to control which elements on a template-based page
you can edit. There are editable regions in a template, which you can edit, and locked regions,
which you can't edit. In the employee template example, the company logo and address might be
in a locked region. The employee information sections would be editable regions.

Editing a template-based page

In a page based on a Dreamweaver template (a template-based page), there are editable regions,
where you can add or edit content, and there are locked regions, where you cannot add or
edit content.
Note: If you try to edit a locked region in a document based on a template, the pointer changes to indicate that you
can't click in a locked region.
When you view a template-based page, you see outlines around the editable regions. The editable
regions each have a tab at the upper left giving the name of that content area. The tabs show you
where you can add or update content on the page.
For example, a product template-based page might have a Title region, for the product title, and a
Description region, for a product description. You add content to the appropriate sections.
You can edit the editable regions of a template-based page as you would edit any other web page.
