Element toolbars in the editing areas, which provide editing functionality relevant
to the type of content you are editing. The site designer controls what editing options are available for each element type. See
Element Toolbars on page 2-8 for
more information.

The contribution toolbar is provided at the top of the Contributor editor window see Contributor Editor Window
on page 2-4. It provides a set of functions that apply to contribution regions as a whole.

Each toolbar option is described below:
2.7 Element Editing Areas
The Contributor editor window see Contributor Editor Window
on page 2-4 has one or more editing areas, one for each element in the data file associated with the
current contribution region on the web page or more specifically, its display definition see
Figure 2–6 . Please note that the Contributor editor may show more
editable data elements than are actually displayed in the contribution region being edited. This is because the current display definition for the contribution region may
have been set up to use only a portion of the data file associated with it. The other information may be used elsewhere on the Web site, so editing that information may
affect other pages on the site.
Toolbar Option Description
Previews the content as it will appear in a web browser. Removes the changes made since you last clicked the Save and Close
icon. Opens a report that you can use to see where this data file is used on the
Web site and other sites in the content server. See Chapter 11, Working
With Site Reports for more information.
Opens a browser window that shows the differences between the unsaved version of the data file you are working on and the saved one on
the content server. See Comparing Different Versions of a Web Page
on page 3-10 for more information.
Save and Close Saves the changes made in Contributor and closes the Contributor
window. Cancel
Cancels all changes made in Contributor and closes the Contributor window. If there are unsaved changes, a dialog verifying this opens
before changes are canceled.
Getting Started With Contributor 2-7
Figure 2–6 Element Editing Area Expanded
If on-demand editing has been enabled for the Web site, then a preview of the content of each element will be displayed. As you move the mouse cursor over each element,
it will highlight in yellow. Each element must be clicked to begin editing.
Each editing area has the element title at the top, one or more toolbars see Element
Toolbars on page 2-8, and the content area where you type in your text and format
your document. Each separate element in the contributor data file has its own editing area. If there is a red ball in the top-right corner of an editing area
Figure 2–7 , then
the site designer has marked this element as required, which means that the editable contribution region must have associated content that is, it cannot be empty.
Figure 2–7 Required Element Marker
If you hover your mouse cursor over the element title, a tooltip appears which shows additional information about the element, as specified by the site designer if
available.
You can use the plus or minus symbol next to the element title to expand or collapse its editing area
Figure 2–8 .

You can navigate and work with the contents of an editing area in much the same way as in most other text editors using the customary key combinations and mouse
movements. Each editing area also has one or more toolbars see Element Toolbars
2-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Site Studio Contributor
on page 2-8 below. In addition, you can use your right mouse button in the editing area to see a menu of context-specific options.
