Contribute 3 - Basics

Edit a Page

Once connected to a website, you are in a preview/browsing mode. You can use the page's links to browse around the website just as you would in a web browser. Once you have located the page you need to edit, you can switch to editing mode by clicking on the "Edit" button.

Note: when you save pages to publish later, the files are kept on your computer. The location depends upon what operating system you use and which version of Contribute you have.
