Publishing a new page

When you publish a new page to your website, Contribute asks you to name the file for the page and any new pages that the page links to. Then Contribute publishes the new page, and any pages that the new page links to, on your website. Publishing all pages that are linked from the new page helps ensure that you do not have broken links on your website.

If you haven’t added a link on an existing page to your new page, website visitors won’t be able to view the page. Remember to go to an existing web page before (or just after) you publish a new page and add a link to the new page (see Linking to a draft or recently published page on your website).

Tip: You can create a link to the page at the same time that you create the page. For more information, see Linking to a new page.

To publish a new page:

  1. In the new page you’re editing, click the Publish button in the toolbar.

  2. Publish button

    The Publish New Page dialog box appears.


    Publish New Dialog box

  3. Change the filename, if you want.
  4. The filename appears at the end of the web address for the page.

  5. Click the Choose Folder button beside the filename if you want to save this page in another location on your website.
  6. Note: The current folder location appears in the web address under the filename.

  7. Click Publish or Next.
  8. If your page does not link to any new pages, Contribute publishes the new page to your website, and then displays it in the Contribute browser.

    Note: Contribute warns you if you have not linked the new page from an existing page. After you publish the new page, be sure to create a link to it (see Linking to a draft or recently published page on your website).

    If your page links to any new pages, the Publish Linked New Files dialog box appears.

  9. For each unpublished linked page (click the page name to select it), change the filename and folder location if you want, then click Publish All.
  10. 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.
