About site windows

When you open a site document (a *.site file) for the first time, its contents are displayed in the tabs of the primary site window. The window has ten tabs in two panes, with six tabs in the left pane and four tabs in the right pane.

Initially only the left pane is shown.

You can display tabs in a secondary site window by choosing the Navigation View or Links View command from the Design menu. These commands correspond to the Navigation and Links tabs, the eleventh and twelfth site-window tabs.

Except for the Files and Extras tabs in the primary site window, site-window tabs behave like palettes. You can drag any tab out of either window, to the other window or out on its own. If you drag it out on its own, a new secondary site window appears to contain it. When a secondary site window becomes empty, it disappears.

Whatever arrangement of tabs and site windows you create for a site is maintained the next time you open its site document. You can have more than one site document open at the same time. When you do this, Adobe GoLive won't let you drag tabs from one site into a site window for another site.

The first ten site-window tabs are tables, with rows of files or other objects and columns with information about the objects. The other two are graphical views of the site. Both panes of the site window have a menu in the upper right corner. The two view tabs have similar menus.
