Modifying templates and updating the site

When you make a change to a template that you are using in the current site, Dreamweaver prompts you to update the pages that use the template. You can also use the update commands to manually update the current page or the entire site. Applying the update commands is the same as reapplying the template.

To open the template used to create the current document:

Choose Modify > Templates > Open TemplateName.dwt.

To update the current document to the most current version of a template:

Choose Modify > Templates > Update Current Page.

To update the entire site or all documents that use a particular template:

1	Choose Modify > Templates > Update Pages.
	The Update Pages dialog box appears.
2	From the Look in option, do one of the following:
	Select Entire Site, and then select the site name. This updates all pages in the selected site to their corresponding templates.
	Select Files That Use, and then select the template name. This updates all pages in the current site that use the selected template.
	Note: If you renamed a template, you must first reapply the template to the documents that reference it before updating the entire site. See Template palette.
3	From the Update option, make sure Templates is checked.
4	Click Start.
