User Guide
1. Consider how to integrate the dynamic content (web designer).
Decide which content needs regular updating, and then design the site structure and page layouts appropriate for the
content. Use the GoLive Diagram feature to help you conceive your site (see "About diagrams" on page 181 for more
information).
2. Define Co-Author sections (web designer).
Create a Co-Author section to hold the data (stories), templates, section file, and other resources GoLive uses to
generate the Co-Author web pages.
3. Designate site templates and designate Co-Author content (web designer).
Create the templates that the site's pages will be based on. Use the Co-Author palette to specify the regions that Co-
Authors can edit, and match the region names to the item names in the Co-Author section.
4. Create Co-Author stories (web designer).
In the Co-Author Editor, create stories that GoLive will use to generate the HTML pages.
5. Publish the site and export a Site Locator file (web designer).
Generate the Co-Author pages, and then preview and test the site. Export the Site Locator file that the Co-Author
uses to download the site for maintenance.
6. Update the site (co-author).
Download the site by using the Site Locator file, and use Adobe Co-Author to update the co-author sections.

items
Co-Author sections
As a web designer, you use co-author sections to organize the editable content into major groups, and to specify the
individual items, or content containers, within each group. Editable items include such things as headlines, images,
and articles for a news site; or product names, photos, descriptions, and prices for a catalog site.
