The Contributor interface is very similar to the interface of a word processing program. You can add, remove, and edit text, images, hyperlinks, and more. There is
even a list option that enables you to manage simple or complex lists. The appearance and behavior of Contributor varies depending on how each contribution region and
associated elements were set up by the site designer.
The main editor window contains various elements:
■
Data file , which shows the content ID of the data file associated with the editable
contribution region on the content server.
■
Elements tab , which provides the editing environment for all elements in the
contribution region. Please note that all elements in the associated Region Definition file are shown.
■
Metadata tab , which shows the content information metadata for the data file
associated with the editable contribution region only if the site designer opted to make the metadata available for the contribution region.
■

contribution region as a whole. You can save or preview the data changes, refresh the current view, open a usage report for the data file, and view the changes made
to the web page. See Contribution Toolbar
