About the site window


    GoLive organizes a site into nine tabs to handle different aspects of site management:

    Files

    Contains HTML, XHTML, XML, media, and other files, as well as folders that you can use to organize the files.

    External

    Displays external URLs and e-mail addresses referenced by the site files.

    Diagrams

    Contains diagrams with a graphical view of possible site implementations. (See About diagrams.)

    Colors

    Contains a collection of colors used in your site.

    Font Sets

    Contains a collection of font sets used in your site. The font sets are lists of alternative fonts that you use to override the browser's default display font settings.

    You can also show and hide the right pane of the site window that contains these additional tabs:

    Extras

    Contains all of the files and folders in the site's web-content folder and web-data folder. The web-data folder contains four types of reusable objects: components, stationery pages, snippets, and page templates. The Extras tab also contains diagrams, Smart Objects, InDesign packages, queries, and files moved to the Site Trash. (See About site assets.)

    Note: You can choose to not show the web-content folder in the Extras tab by doing the following: choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or GoLive > Preferences (Mac OS) and select Site in the left pane; then deselect Show Web-content Folder in Extras Tab.

    Errors

    Contains missing files, orphan files, Smart Object warnings, and files that have a name that doesn't meet your filename constraints. An orphan file is referenced in a link but GoLive can't find the file, or the file is outside the web-content folder. If you manage files in the site window, you can avoid creating orphan files. Click a file in the Errors tab to open the Error Inspector. For information on finding and fixing links to missing files, see Checking the site for missing or orphan files.

    Publish Server

    Displays the site on a remote server while GoLive is connected to a publish server (an FTP, WebDAV, or local file server).

    Collections

    Displays custom sets of one or more files that you select manually or define as a result of a query, syntax check, or find operation.

    The status column in the site window contains icons that show you each file's status. The checkmark icon Check mark icon indicates that the file is error-free--that all files referenced in it have been found. For information on the meaning of the other status icons, see Fixing site errors.

    You can also display a third view of the site window that contains two graphical views: Navigation and Links view (see About graphical site views).
