Simple publishing of a page

When you publish updates to an existing page, Contribute replaces the currently published version of the page on your website with the new version. When Contribute publishes your draft, it also publishes any new pages that your draft links to (but not pages that link to your draft). Contribute will prompt you to name any linked pages that haven’t been published before. Publishing all new pages that are linked from the draft helps ensure that you do not have broken links in your website.

publish button

To publish updates to an existing page, click the Publish button in the toolbar.

If the draft does not contain links to any new, unpublished pages, then Contribute publishes the draft and you are finished.

If the draft contains links to any new pages, then the Publish New Linked Pages dialog
box appears. For each unpublished linked page (click the page name to select it), change the filename and folder location if you want, then click Publish All. The filename appears at the end of the web address for the web page. The web address is the
location where Contribute saves the page on your website. Contribute publishes the draft (and any new pages it links to) to your website, then displays it in the Contribute browser.
