Chapter 17: Using Adobe Online Services
Using Dreamweaver with Adobe Online services
Adobe online services are hosted web applications that work similarly to traditional desktop tools. The advantage of
online services, however, is that they are always up to date because they are hosted on the web, as opposed to on your
computer.
Dreamweaver integrates directly with Adobe® BrowserLab and Adobe® Business Catalyst InContext Editing. Help for
working with those services is included in the Help sections that follow.
Dreamweaver also integrates with Adobe® CS Live online services (which includes BrowserLab). For more information
on working with CS Live, see
Using Adobe CS Live.
For information on managing Adobe online services, see the Adobe website at
www.adobe.com/go/learn_creativeservices_en.
BrowserLab
Adobe BrowserLab lets you preview local web content from within Dreamweaver, without requiring you to post it to
a publicly-accessible server first. You can preview files from your local Dreamweaver site, or from a remote or testing
server.
For information about using the BrowserLab online service, including information about using BrowserLab with
Dreamweaver, see
www.adobe.com/go/lr_abl_en.
Business Catalyst InContext Editing
Business Catalyst InContext Editing
Adobe Business Catalyst InContext Editing is an editing component of Adobe Business Catalyst that lets users make
simple content changes within a web browser. To change a web page, users simply browse to the page, log into
InContext Editing, and edit the page. The editing options are simple and elegant, and using them requires no previous
knowledge of HTML code or web editing.
Before you enable users to make live changes on the web, however, you use Dreamweaver to make your HTML pages
editable. You do this by specifying regions on the page that you want to allow users to edit. For example, you might
have a news page with titles and blurbs for articles. You can select this content and then transform it into an InContext
Editing editable region so that when a user logs into InContext Editing, they can edit the titles and blurbs directly in a
browser.
This documentation tells you how to work with InContext Editing editable regions in Dreamweaver; but Adobe also
provides other resources to help you work with InContext Editing:
• For documentation on using InContext Editing to edit pages in a browser, see
www.adobe.com/go/learn_dw_incontextediting_browser_en.
• For documentation on working with the InContext Editing Administration Panel, see
