ADOBE CONTRIBUTE CS3 158 User Guide About the Rollback feature for web pages You can use the Rollback feature to revert to a previous version of any published page. You do not have to roll back to the last published version; you can select any version that Contribute has saved as a rollback file. When you roll back to a previous version of a page, Contribute reverts to the previous text contained in the version of the page you select. However, any assets imported into the page may or may not be recovered. For example, suppose you update an image file outside of Contribute and then replace the original image with another image using the same filename. In this case, Contribute cannot roll back to the previous version of the image because Contribute does not manage assets outside the web pages it creates. Contribute does, however, maintain the older version of an image if you use Contribute to edit the image in an external application. Contribute considers images, Microsoft Word documents, and other content that you edit in an external application as assets. You can roll back assets that you've edited through Contribute the same way that you roll back pages. For example, suppose you roll back from version C of a page to version A, and you used Contribute to edit an image in version B. When you roll back to version A, you do not see the current version of the image. You need to also roll back the image, independently of the page rollback. Previewing a page in your default browser When you edit a draft in Contribute you can easily view your changes in a browser at any time, to ensure that your changes appear as you intend in the browser. Previewing your page also gives you an opportunity to test your links before you publish the page. You can view the source code for a page when you preview it in the browser. Note: If the Contribute administrator assigned you to a role that cannot publish, you cannot use the Preview in Browser feature. To preview a page in your browser, do one of the following: • Select File > Preview in Browser. • Press the F12 key. Publishing a page to your website After you finish editing and reviewing a draft, you are ready to publish it to your website. When you publish a draft, Contribute makes it live on your website-and, if the page was previously published, Contribute replaces the existing page with the updated page. Note: Depending on the role the Contribute administrator assigned you, you might not be able to publish. You can publish any of the following types of pages to your website: • Updates to an existing page • New page, not previously published
