Exporting sites
Exporting a site
Exporting a site is adapting its folder structure and other details to a particular publish server—the one you plan to
upload it to. Exporting is distinct from uploading; you export to a local drive as a separate step before uploading.
Note: Few web servers require that GoLive sites be exported. Consult your server administrator for information before
beginning the export process.
To select site export options
• To select options for the active site only, click the Site Settings button on the toolbar or choose Site > Settings,
click Upload/Export, and select Site Specific Settings.
• To select options for all sites, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or GoLive > Preferences (Mac OS), expand
Site, and click Upload/Export.
Site export options
The following options are available for site export:
Honor Publish State Of Files/Folders Specifies whether to override individual publish state settings for files and
folders, deselect the respective options.
Linked Files Only Specifies whether to upload only those files that are part of the site hierarchy.
As In Site Maps the hierarchy of groups, pages, and resources within your site window to the resulting root folder.
Separate Pages And Media Creates a root folder that contains two subfolders for HTML pages and media, respec-
tively.
Flat Creates a root folder that contains all HTML pages and media, but no subfolders.
Folder Name Entries apply to the Separate Pages And Media option. For files that are not in the site, the Folder
Name entry applies only when you select the Export Linked Files That Are Not Part Of This Site option.
Export Linked Files That Are Not Part Of The Site Specifies that the export will include orphan files.
Show Options Before Export Displays these Export options at the time of each export.
Strip HTML Code For Select Comments or Spaces to streamline the source code without affecting the appearance
of pages. Select Adobe GoLive Elements to remove GoLive tags and attributes that let you edit your animations,
scripted actions, and so on.
Strip GoLive Data From Media Files Checks all GIF, JPEG, PNG, SWF, and SVG files for data that has been added
to those files to enable the Smart Object workflow. This data is only added to the target files of Smart Objects. The
option then removes the data to make the files smaller.
Flatten Script Library Scans all files that use the GoLive JavaScript library and rewrites the external files so they
contain only the exact JavaScript needed for the site.This option is recommended.
Rewrite PDF Files Scans all PDF files that are part of the site and optimizes them for quicker upload.
