Working with site windows


You can freely adapt Adobe GoLive's site windows, arranging the windows and the tabs in them to suit your own site-building purposes.

To open a site document (*.site file) in a primary site window:

Do one of the following:
  • Choose File > Open, browse to the document, select it, and click Open. This opens the site document.
  • Double-click the file on your system desktop. This launches Adobe GoLive with the site document open.

    • Note: Opening a site document automatically creates a backup of the document. The backup is deleted when you save and close the document. You can turn this feature off in Site preferences.

    To open a site whose site document was open during a crash:

    Open the regular site file, not the backup site file. If it is necessary to use the backup, Adobe GoLive will inform you while you are opening the regular file.

    To show or hide the right pane of a primary site window:

    Click the icon () in the scroll bar at the bottom of the window.

    To open a graphical view of the site in a secondary site window:

    1 Click the site window displaying the site document.

    2 Do one of the following:
  • Click the Navigation View button () on the toolbar.
  • Choose Design > Navigation View or Design > Links View.
  • Choose Navigation or Links from one of the pane menus of the site window.

    • To display the contents of a tab in a site window:

    Do one of the following:
  • Click the tab to bring it to the front.
  • Choose Site > View and select the tab from the View submenu. If the tab has been closed, it is displayed in a new secondary site window.

    • To move a tab in or out of a site window or site window pane:

    Drag the tab into or out of the window or pane. You can drag a tab into either pane of the primary site window, either from another site window or from the other pane of the primary site window.

    If you move two tabs to two separate windows, you can sometimes use them in conjunction. For example, if the Navigation and Links tabs are in separate windows, you can use the navigation view as a key to the links view, selecting a page in the one as a way of locating it in the other.

    To restore the original configuration of the primary site window:

    Choose Default Configuration from the menu for either pane of the window. This restores the original ten tabs in their original positions and removes any other tabs.

    To work with table-style tabs:

    Do any of the following:
  • To change the sort order of the column the table is currently being sorted by, click its column head. In Mac OS, you can also click the icon () above the scroll bar.
  • To sort the table by another column, click its column head.
  • To show or hide a column, choose the column from the context menu for the row of column heads in the pane containing the column. (Alternatively, use the Show Columns menu in the View Controller. For information, see Using the View Controller.)

    • To display a context menu, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the context. In the procedure above, the context is the row of column heads.
  • To resize a column in a tab, drag the right border of the column head to the left or right.
  • To change the position of a column in the tab, Control-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) the column head to the left or right. (You can't change the position of the leftmost column in any tab.)
  • To go up one level in the folder or group whose contents are listed in the tab, click the icon () at the top of the tab.
  • To show or hide the anchors in a page, click the icon () or () to the left of the page.
