Setting the Shared Assets options in the Role Settings dialog box

Use the Shared Assets category to create a library of images, SWF content, and Dreamweaver library items from a list of shared assets for your website. Users can copy assets from the list as they need them.

  • To add a shared asset, click the Add button, and then select Image, Library Item, or SWF.

    In the Choose dialog box, double-click the website root showing in the pane to view folders on the website. Browse to and select the file you want to add, and then click Select. Change or confirm the shared asset properties, and then click OK.

    You can Shift-click to select multiple assets.

    The asset appears in the Shared Assets list.

  • To delete a shared asset, select an asset in the pane and click the Remove button.

    If a warning appears, click Yes to continue.

    The asset disappears from the Shared Assets list. If the Use This List For All Roles option is selected, the asset disappears from the Shared Assets list for all roles on the website.

  • To view or change shared asset properties, select an asset in the pane and click the Edit button.

    In the Shared Asset Properties dialog box, make changes as necessary, and click OK.

    Properties include the name used to refer to the asset, alternate text for images, and the editing attribute for Dreamweaver Library items. The editing attribute determines whether the library item is locked, so that it cannot be edited, or unlocked, so that it can be edited, when it is added by users.
