Updating tabs in the site window


You can update the Files, Extras, and Designs tabs so that they reflect the actual site--that is, the contents of the root folder (Files), the site data folder (Extras), or the Designs subfolder of the site data folder (Designs). This may involve adding files to the tab, removing files, or both. Updating is useful if you have been working with files in one of these folders outside of Adobe GoLive--for example, dragging a file from the desktop to the root folder rather than dragging it into the Files tab.

Similarly, if you are connected to an FTP or WebDAV server, you can update the FTP or WebDAV tabs to reflect the contents of the current directory on the server.

When you update the External, Colors, or Fontsets tab, all the pages in the root folder are scanned for the corresponding objects, and any object found on a page but not listed on the tab is added to the list. Items listed but not found remain in the list.

When you import a site, the Files, External, Colors, and Fontsets tabs are updated automatically to provide resources for further site development. As you develop the imported site further, you should update these tabs to reflect these developments.

To update the Files, Designs, or Extras tab:

1 Do one of the following:
  • To update the Files tab, Designs tab, or Extras tab, click the tab.
  • To update a folder in the Files tab, click the Files tab and open the folder.

    • 2 Do one of the following:
  • Click the Update button () on the toolbar.
  • Choose Site > Rescan Folder where Folder is the name of the site root folder or one of its subfolders in the Files tab and the name of the site data folder in the Extras tab.
  • Choose Site > Update Designs List.

    • To update the FTP or WebDAV tab:

    1 Connect to the FTP or WebDAV server.

    2 Open the server directory you want to update.

    3 Do one of the following:
  • Click the Update button () on the toolbar.
  • Choose Site > Update.

    • To update the External, Colors, or Fontsets tab:

    1 Click the tab.

    2 Do one of the following:
  • Click the Update button () on the toolbar.
  • Choose Site > Get References Used, Site > Get Colors Used, or Site > Get Fontsets Used. The command displayed on the Site menu depends on the tab you have clicked. The Get References Used command is displayed when you click the External tab.

    • If the scan finds new URLs or addresses that need to be listed in the External tab, a New URLs or New Addresses group for them is created in the tab. Similarly, New Colors or New Font Sets groups are created in the Colors or Fontsets tabs if new colors or font sets are found.
