Launching Contributor Site Studio Contributor

Getting Started With Designer 5-39 The designer of the site can also use Contributor, and may frequently do so to test the site contribution, to populate the site with sample pages, or to fix pages that have become broken. To start Contributor, you visit a web page that contains an editable contribution region which was set up in Designer and then change the page view to contribution mode you may be prompted to log onto the Web site. You can then click any contribution graphic on the page and start editing that page in Contributor. The following topics provide a brief introduction to Contributor: ■ Launching Contributor on page 5-39 ■ Contributor Editor on page 5-40 ■ Contributor and Workflows on page 5-41

5.18.1 Launching Contributor

To open the Contributor application, browse to the web page containing a contribution region and enable contribution mode using a combination of keystrokes on the keyboard the default is Ctrl+Shift+F5. You are then prompted to enter your login credentials. You can tell that you are in contribution mode by a thin Contribution Mode banner along the top of the screen. You also see one or more contribution graphics Figure 5–40 on the page, one for each placeholder. Figure 5–40 Contribution Graphic Each contribution graphic marks an editable area on the web page that can be opened and edited with Contributor or a third-party application if a native document is used. The name of the placeholder is listed first, followed by the edit icon then the menu icon. To edit, click the edit icon or click the menu icon and choose Edit. Please note the following: ■ The number of contribution graphics may vary, depending on the number of editable areas on a page and the contributors login credentials if the designer set up different security for each file on the site. ■ Different icons may appear within the contribution graphic, meaning different things. If content has not been assigned to the placeholder, then the graphic has a small green + symbol Figure 5–41 . Figure 5–41 Contribution Graphic Showing That Content Has not Been Assigned If the contributor has access to switch the region content, then the graphic displays a small yellow arrow Figure 5–42 .
