file name manually. The complete syntax with the "file" protocol is:
file://<host>/<path>. If the host is "localhost", it can be omitted, resulting in
file:///<path>, for example: file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg.
If the file is located on another server in your network, the path must contain five slashes
after "file:".
Tip
After adding the remote file, you may right-click it and select Download Resource. This allows
you to maintain a central file, from which you can quickly download a copy to your template
without having to copy & paste.
There are a few advantages to resources hosted on a CDN:
l These resources are not served by your server, saving on space, bandwidth and
processing.
l Using a popular CDN takes advantage of caching - a client having visited another
website using that same CDN will have the file in cache and not re-download it making
for faster load times for the client.
Tip
To refresh the remote resources in a Designer view, use the Refresh option in the menu (View >
Refresh) or the Refresh button at the top of the Workspace.
