2.1 Launching Contributor
The site designer can make particular areas on a Web site available to site contributors the contribution regions, so they can edit or update the content in these contribution
regions. The first step to edit or update content on a web page is to open that page in contribution mode. This is done by pressing a special key combination while viewing
the web page in a web browser. The default key combination is Ctrl+Shift+F5, but the site administrator may have set up a different combination. Contact your site designer
or administrator if you are not sure what key combination to use to activate contribution mode.
When you press the assigned key combination, you may be prompted for your login credentials user name and password to connect to the content server that the Web
site resides on. After you log on, the Contributor application is launched and the page is displayed in contribution mode see
Contribution Mode on page 2-2. Please note
that pressing the special key combination is the only way to launch the Contributor application; you cannot launch it from the Windows desktop or the Start menu.
2.2 Contribution Mode
After you press the correct key combination Ctrl+Shift+F5 by default, the web page is displayed in contribution mode. You see two changes in your web browser: the page
now has a Contribution Mode bar at the top Figure 2–1
with one or more options for the web page as a whole, and the page includes several contribution graphics, one for
each of the contribution regions that is, the areas on the web page that can be edited Figure 2–2
. See Contribution Graphic
on page 2-3 for more information on the contribution graphic.

choose the Edit option. The Contributor editor then opens in a browser popup window, and you can start editing the content in that contribution region. Please note
that this browser popup window may be suppressed by popup-blocking software, so you must configure that software to allow pop-ups on your site. Also, when the
Contributor editor opens, the web browser displaying the original web page becomes
