To create nested page templates
1 Create a main template with locked and editable regions and save it in the Templates folder of the site. See “To
create a page template” on page 421.
2 Double-click the template in the Extras tab of the site window and click Create.
3 In the editable regions of the page based on the main template, enter static content and define new editable
regions.
4 Choose Save As > Template from the document's palette menu. This document is the nested template.
You can create additional layers of templates by generating pages from the nested template and adding static content
and editable regions to the editable regions of the page based on the nested template.
Applying and updating page templates
Applying a page template to existing pages
You can apply a page template to pages that already have content in them. When you apply a page template, GoLive
looks for matching names of marked editable regions in the existing content. If any are found, GoLive automatically
moves the existing content into the regions. If no matches are found, GoLive displays a list of regions in the template
to choose from and the option to overwrite the content by not choosing a specific region.
Using the Template Regions palette, you can quickly prepare existing content for a template by marking new editable
regions of the same type (paragraph or inline) and automatically renaming the regions with matching names from
the template.
To prepare content on a page with matching region names
1 Display the template and the page side by side.
2 Select the content on the page, and then click the Create New Editable Inline Region button or the Create New
Editable Paragraph Region
in the Template Regions palette.
3 Control-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) from the new region in the palette to the region in the
template that has the name you want to use for the new region. GoLive applies the name of the template’s region to
the new region.
Ctrl-drag or Command-drag to apply the template’s region name ‘Months’ to a new region.
