3.1 About Editing Web Pages in Contributor
As a contributor, you are responsible for updating portions of your organizations Web site. More specifically, you edit parts on the web pages that the site designer has
enabled for editing by site contributors the contribution regions. When the designer sets up the site, he or she may create just one contribution region or several
contribution regions on each page. Within the area, the site designer can enable or disable numerous editing options. As such, your experience editing the web page
entirely depends on how the designer set it up.
Editing a contribution region is quite simple. You browse to a web page, enter contribution mode see
Contribution Mode on page 3-2, and click the editing option
within the contribution graphic next to the area you want to edit. When you edit a contribution region, you are actually editing a file on the content server that is
assigned to that area:
■
Contributor data file: an XML file generated by Site Studio Contributor that is
viewed and edited using the Contributor application.

■
Native document: any file created by a third-party application such as Microsoft
Word, which is then converted into a web page for example, using Dynamic Converter.
Any of these file types can be assigned to a contribution region, and depending on how your site was set up again, by the designer, you may be working with just one
of them or any combination. The main difference for you, as the contributor, is that when you edit a contribution region, the Contributor editor opens for contributor data
files, and a third-party application for example, Microsoft Word opens for native documents.
