Naming files and folders


    When you create a new empty file, GoLive automatically gives it a name. If you know what content that file will contain, you'll probably want to rename it.

    When you rename a file that is referenced by other files, you can update the other files with the new filename at the same time. For information on updating an entire site for a URL that other files reference, see Editing links and URLs sitewide.

    If you use a name for a file or folder that contains illegal characters as defined by the current filename constraint for the site (or all sites), GoLive displays warnings in the Errors tab of the site window, the Name tab of the File or Folder Inspector, and the Status column of the Files tab.

To rename a file:

  1. Select the file in the Files tab in the site window and then enter the new name in the File tab of the File Inspector.
  2. If there are any other files that contain references to the file you renamed, the Rename File dialog box appears. To have GoLive automatically update the references with the new filename, leave the files selected and then click OK.

To check for filename constraint violations:

    Select the file and then click the Name tab in the File Inspector to view any violations.

To rename a folder:

    Select the folder in the Files tab in the site window and then enter the new name in the Folder tab of the Folder Inspector.
