Copying a page on your website
You can create a copy of the page you are currently viewing on your website. You must be viewing
the page in the Contribute browser; you cannot create a copy of a page that is a draft in the
Contribute editor. Also, you cannot copy a page from one website to another website.
Note: You cannot create a copy of a page that contains frames.
You must create the new page first, then link it later. You cannot create the copy and add a link to
it at the same time.
Creating a blank web page
You can create a blank web page. There are two ways to add a blank page to your website:
• Create a new page and a link to the page at the same time. (Recommended)
For example, suppose you are updating your home page, and you want to add a link to a
contact information page that you haven’t created yet. From the home page, you can insert a
link and create the contact page at the same time.
• Create the new page first, then link it later.
For example, suppose you create a page for a new product. After you create the page, you can
go to the Products Overview page, and add a link to the new product page.
Copying a sample web page
Contribute comes with built-in sample web pages that you can copy and use on your website. Use
any of these pages as a starting point for your web page. Samples include a Meeting Note, Contact
Page, Home Page, Favorite Links Page, and sample pages for text and images.

Creating a page based on a template
You can create a new page based on a template. In Contribute there are two types of templates:
• A template created in Macromedia Dreamweaver (see Dreamweaver Help > Using
Dreamweaver). A Dreamweaver template is a template that a designer creates for you with
editable and locked regions.
• A template that the website administrator for your website designated as a template. Your
website administrator can designate any page on your website as a template.
