The Roll Back Page dialog box appears displaying a list of versions of the file you can select and roll back to, as shown in Figure 3-2

Managing a Contribute Site When there are no prior versions, the dialog box displays a message that you can t roll back to a previous version of the selected file

Contribute users can do some tasks, such as edit and republish existing files, create new pages based on existing pages, and create brand-new pages to add to a Contribute site They can t, however, delete, move, and rename files, or do certain file editing tasks on a remote Contribute site The site Administrator must perform these tasks through Dreamweaver Keep in mind the following points when making changes to Contribute files: Editing files: Use the Check In/Check Out feature (instead of Get and Put) to check out the file to which you want to make changes, make the changes, save the file, and check it back in We discuss editing templates and style sheets later in this chapter, in the section, Using Dreamweaver to Edit a Contribute Site Moving and renaming files: On the surface, moving a file from one location on the remote server to another, or even renaming a file, works the same in a Contribute site as it does in a Dreamweaver site But Dreamweaver tracks and saves these changes in the _baks folder, and modifies the filename or location in all the previous versions of the file That way, if you need to roll back to a previous version, the file location or name change stays intact Pretty smart, huh We strongly recommend that if you have to move or rename a file, you do so from within Dreamweaver

Deleting files: If you re using Dreamweaver to delete a file, Dreamweaver asks whether you want to fully delete all previous versions of that file at the same time If you say yes, they all disappear forever If you say no, Dreamweaver saves a copy of the current version as a new version of the file in the _baks folder on the remote server for future restoration using the Roll Back Page command To delete a file on a remote Contribute site using Dreamweaver, follow these steps:

delete and press the Delete key on your keyboard A Confirmation dialog box opens for you to confirm the deletion

2 If you want to also delete any rollback versions of the selected file,

enable the Delete Rollback Versions option Deselect the Delete Rollback Versions option to keep previous versions of the selected file online, including a copy of the version you re deleting

You can t undo this action! Deleted files are permanently removed from the server and are irretrievable

When you set up folder and file permissions for users on the Contribute site through Dreamweaver s Administer Website dialog box, be sure to give Contribute users read access to any files and folders on the remote server Such folders include root-level files, images subfolders, and perhaps read access to the Templates folder if you want Contribute users to create template-based files from Dreamweaver-generated templates You can grant file and folder permissions by selecting a user and clicking the Edit Role Settings button When the Edit Role Settings dialog box opens, select the Folder/ File Access category from the left side of the panel, shown in Figure 3-3, and set user folder access and file deletion settings on the right If you re weary of granting users permission to the Templates folder, you could allow them to use Dreamweaver templates by copying the entire Template folder from the main site s root folder to the Contribute site s remote root folder through the Files panel Thereafter, whenever the Dreamweaver templates are updated on the main site through Dreamweaver, you must remember to copy the updated templates to the Template folder on the remote Contribute site Copying the updated templates to the Contribute site is the only way to overwrite the older files so that users can access them
