Working with pages based on Dreamweaver templates 49
When you view a template-based page, you see outlines around the editable regions. The editable
regions each have a tab at the upper left giving the name of that content area. The tabs show you
where you can add or update content on the page.
For example, a product template-based page might have a Title region, for the product title, and a
Description region, for a product description. You add content to the appropriate sections.
You can edit the editable regions of a template-based page as you would edit any other web page.
To edit a template-based page:
1. Browse to the template-based page you want to edit.
2. Do one of the following:
■ Click the Edit Page button in the toolbar.
■ Select File > Actions > Edit Page.
The page opens as a draft in the Contribute editor. You can make edits in the editable regions.
