Keep these factors in mind when updating templates in a Contribute site:

Contribute retrieves new and changed templates from the site only when Contribute starts up and when a Contribute user

changes their connection information. If you make changes to a template while a Contribute user is editing a file based on that

template, the user won’t see the changes to the template until they restart Contribute.

If you remove an editable region from a template, a Contribute user editing a page based on that template might be confused

about what to do with the content that was in that editable region.

To update a template in a Contribute site, complete the following steps.

1. Open the Contribute template in Dreamweaver, edit it, and then save it. For instructions, see Open a template for editing.

2. Notify all of the Contribute users who are working on the site to restart Contribute.

Delete a template file

1. In the Assets panel (Window > Assets), select the Templates category on the left side of the panel .

2. Click the name of the template to select it.

3. Click the Delete button

at the bottom of the panel, then confirm that you want to delete the template.

Important: After you delete a template file, you can’t retrieve it. The template file is deleted from your site.

Documents that are based on a deleted template are not detached from the template; they retain the structure and editable

regions that the template file had before it was deleted. You can convert such a document into an HTML file without editable or

locked regions.
