■
Content Server check-in page
■
Desktop Integration Suite client

folders functionality on the content server When checking in a document using one of these methods, however, you must ensure
that the metadata for the native document matches the metadata used by the Web site and the dynamic list see
Metadata for Native Documents on page 10-2.
10.5 Opening and Editing Native Documents
After you add native documents to your Web site, you can then start opening and editing each one. Working on a native document on a Site Studio Web site is very
similar to working on a native document in any other situation.
The main difference is that the document is stored on a Web site, and therefore the content server. For this reason you must open the document from that location, save it
to that location, use styles a little differently if you use styles, and create links a little differently.
You can open and edit native documents from a Site Studio Web site in the same way that you open and edit a contributor data file using Contributor. You can also use the
content server and various add-on components to check out and edit native documents.

Open Contributor and then edit the hyperlink that points to the native document see

When you follow these steps, instead of Contributor opening, the native document opens in the application used to originally create the file for example, a .doc file opens
in Microsoft Word. When you check out documents this way, each time you save the document, a revision is created in the content server. When you close the document, it
is checked into the content server.
Opening and Editing Native Documents Using Content Server
