If you edit an object on the web page the change is also reflected
in the Objects library and vice versa.
Managing Smart objects
While editing Smart objects affects how the object operates, managing Smart
objects can be used to manage the object's "gathered" data when the Web page
is published. Some Smart objects such as Hit Counters don't need to be
managed as they just increment on each web visit (you can reset the counters
though). However, other more complex Smart objects, such as forums/blogs,
mailing lists, polls, and shout boxes will store articles, email addresses, poll
results, and a chat messaging log, respectively.
For detailed help on the management options available, use the
context-sensitive Help button next to the Smart object.
To manage a Smart object from your library:
1. Click the
Smart Object Tool button on the Web Objects toolbar
(and login if necessary).
2. Select the object from the My Smart Objects Library pane.
3. In the adjacent window, select the
button under the
object preview. The next step depends on the object type, i.e.
