Site Manager helps you easily manage your project home page. Documents are the part of a home page, but a project means the whole home page. When you use project feature, you can conveniently manage files as a whole home page not a individual document. Site Manager of WebEditor 4 manages files included in a project as well as organizes documents of a home page in logical structure. In addition, Publish window is included in Site Manager helping users to manage the whole process from the beginning to publishing.

Manage File: Project Window and List Window

You can manage files in a project in Project window and List window.

Project Window

Press Project tab in Site Manager to open project window. In project window, you can manage all the files in the folder where the project exist as well as all the files in sub projects. In project window, you can see which files are added to the project or not. The files added to the project are displayed in black color, otherwise in gray. Only the files included in the project are displayed on the list in Publish window when you publish the project. And you can add these files to the structure when you create site structure in structure window. For link verification, the links only in the files included in the project are verified. Therefore, you should include the file necessary for the site to the project. In order to include files to the project, select a file unincluded to the project and select [File > Add to Project]. If you choose a folder and select [File > Add to Project], all the files in the select folder will be added to the project.
Note: In WebEditor 3.0, if the user select a folder with existing files as the folder to save a new project, the existing files in the folder are automatically added to the project.  However, in WebEditor 4.0, the user should add existing file to the project manually. This is to avoid adding unnecessary files to the project and enhance management function.

Project Window

List Window

You can open List window by clicking List tab of Site Manager. In List window, you can manage the files included in a project. In the folder where the project is saved, there are files included in the project and files unincluded in the project. In project window, you can also manage files unincluded in the project but in List window, you manage included files only.

Create Home Page with Logical Structure: Structure Window

Open structure window by clicking structure tab of Site Manager in order to create a home page with logical structure. Logical structure clearly shows the relation among documents in a home page. However, even though a document is included in a project, it doesn't have to be in the structure if the document is not related to the structure.
In order to insert navigation bar which creates and modifies buttons based on the relation among documents, site structure should be created. You cannot insert navigation bar to the documents unincluded in the site structure because the documents' relation with other documents is not defined.
In order to add a section templet, site structure should be created. You can add section templet only in the structure window.

Structure Window

Add Document to Structure

In order to create site structure, you need to add documents to the site structure. Select  [File > Add to Tree] from Site Manager menu to add documents to the site structure.

New Document : Adds a new document to the site structure. New Document window will appear when you select New Document menu. Select document type you want in the dialog box and press OK. A file named 'new file1.htm' will be added to the structure. If you want to rename this document, change file name in project window. If you add new documents again and again, files titled 'new file2.htm', 'new file3.htm' are added to the project as well as to the site structure.
Insert Existing Document : You can add a file in the project to the site structure. Select Insert Existing Document and  open Select File window to select a file to insert and click OK button.
Insert Section : Inserts a section to the site structure. Section means a bundle of files which forms a part of the home page. WebEditor4 provides section templets created by graphic designers. You can insert cool pages which are hard to make to your home page like assembling Lego blocks.
Insert Outside Address : Select this feature when you insert outside URL address other than documents included in the project to the site structure or the navigation bar. In Outside Address dialog box, enter the name to describe the address and outside address.

Remove Document from Site Structure

In order to remove a document in the site structure, select a file to remove and press Delete key. Even though you remove the file from the structure, the file still remains in the project.
Note: If you remove a document includes documents at the child level, the documents at the child level are removed from the structure along with the document to remove.

Modify Structure

In order to modify existing site structure, drag and drop the file you want to move. Little triangle shape pointer will show the location where the file will be moved.

 

Verify Document Hyperlinks : Link Window

Link window displays the status of links of currently editing documents. In order to see the status of the links, Select [Tool > Menage Site > Verify Modified Hyperlinks]or [Tool > Manage Site > Verify All Hyperlinks] and verify all the links' status in the project. After completing hyperlinks verification, press Link tab to check the status of currently editing files. In the files showing broken links after hyperlink verification, you cannot move to the links or images do not appear after publishing. In addition, standalone file does not have any links to other documents and publishing these standalone files is unnecessary.  Therefore, you are recommended to verify hyperlinks after creating a site.
