Insert shared assets into a web page

Contribute lets you insert images, SWF content, or Dreamweaver library items from a list of shared assets for your website.

Your Contribute administrator adds assets to the list so that they are available to most or all users. Then you can insert assets from the list as you need them.

For example, suppose you need to add the official company logo to your draft. As long as your Contribute administrator has added the logo to the list of shared assets for your role, you can easily find the approved logo and add it to your page. For more information, see Set options for shared assets.

  1. Place the insertion point in your draft where you want the shared asset to appear.

  2. Do one of the following, depending on the type of shared asset you are inserting:

    • For all shared assets, including Dreamweaver library items, select Insert > Shared Asset.

    • For images only, select Insert > Image > From Shared Assets or click the Image button in the toolbar, and then select From Shared Assets.

    • For SWF content only, select Insert > SWF > From Shared Assets.

      Note: If library items and SWF content are not available, your Contribute administrator might have indicated that users in your role can insert images only from shared assets.

    The Insert Shared Asset dialog box appears.

    The shared asset appears on your draft.
