About working with pages

Contribute enables you to edit existing pages on your website, including pages based on

templates. You can use the draft review process or the e-mail review process to have your edits

reviewed by another user before you publish.

Editing pages

You can edit pages on websites that you’re connected to (see “Connecting to a website”

on page 17) and have permission to edit. You cannot edit a page if the page is locked—that is, if

someone else is currently editing it. When you browse to a page, the message area under the

toolbar indicates whether you can edit that page.

While you edit a page, Contribute saves it as a draft, and the draft title appears in the Pages panel

in the sidebar.

For more information, see “Opening a page on your website for editing” on page 40. For

information about working with drafts, see “Saving drafts” on page 41.

Note: If you want to edit a Microsoft document that you’ve linked to on your website, see “Editing

web page content in an external application” on page 52.

There might be restrictions on which parts of a draft you can edit. Your template designer can

create a template with locked regions or your Contribute administrator can set up editing

constraints that restrict editing to text only.

Note: If you do not have permission to edit a page or part of a page that you need to edit, talk to your

Contribute administrator or see “Managing Users and Roles” on page 197.
