Working with Dreamweaver sites
Last updated 3/28/2012
Note: A connection key is not the same as a Dreamweaver exported site file.
Before you give Contribute users the connection information they need to edit pages, use Dreamweaver to create
the basic folder hierarchy for your site, and to create any templates and CSS style sheets needed for the site.
1 Select Site > Manage Sites.
2 Select a site, and then click Edit.
3 In the Site Setup dialog box, expand Advanced Settings and select the Contribute category.
4 Click the Administer Site in Contribute button.
Note: This button does not appear if you have not enabled Contribute compatibility.
5 If prompted, enter the administrator password, and then click OK.
The Administer Website dialog box appears.
• To change administrative settings, select a category from the list on the left, and then change settings as necessary.
• To change role settings, in the Users and Roles category, click Edit Role Settings, and then make changes as
necessary.
• To send a connection key to set up users, in the Users and Roles category, click Send Connection Key, and then
complete the Connection Wizard.
6 Click Close, click OK, and then click Done.
For more information about administrative settings, managing user roles, or creating a connection key, see Contribute Help.

Delete, move, or rename a remote file in a Contribute site
Deleting a file from the remote server that hosts a Contribute site works much like deleting a file from the server for
any Dreamweaver site. However, when you delete a file from a Contribute site, Dreamweaver asks whether to delete
all older versions of the file. If you choose to keep the older versions, Dreamweaver saves a copy of the current version
in the _baks folder so you can restore it later.
Renaming a remote file or moving it from one folder to another in a Contribute site works the same way it works in
any Dreamweaver site. In a Contribute site, Dreamweaver also renames or moves the associated previous versions of
the file that are saved in the _baks folder.
1 Select the file in the Remote pane of the Files panel (Window > Files), and then press Backspace (Windows) or
Delete
(Macintosh).
A dialog box appears asking you to confirm that you want to delete the file.
2 In the confirmation dialog box:
• To delete all previous versions of the file as well as the current version, select the Delete Rollback Versions option.
• To leave previous versions on the server, deselect the Delete Rollback Versions option.
3 Click Yes to delete the file.
