Refresh templates

If you have several templates on your website, Contribute can take longer to start. For faster startup, you can configure Adobe Contribute to start up without downloading templates from the server to your client computer. You can download updated templates whenever it is required, or when Contribute displays a message indicating that a selected template is not synchronized with the template available on the server.

  1. In the Contribute browser, click New in the toolbar, or select File > New.

    The New Web Page Or Blog Entry dialog box opens.

  2. In the Create New Web Page or Blog Entry For pane, select and expand the website or blog connection in which you want to create the new page or blog entry, if it is not already expanded.

  3. Below the Preview pane, view information about the template associated with the selected website. If Contribute indicates that the template is out of date, click Refresh Templates, and select one of the following options from the pop-up menu:

    For All Websites
    Updates templates for all websites and blogs globally.

    For Selected Website/Blog
    Updates templates for the selected website or blog only.

    For Selected Template
    Updates the selected template only.

    The template is refreshed.

  4. Click OK.

    While creating a new page, if you select a template that does not match the template on the server, Contribute prompts you to confirm whether you want to create the page based on the old template. If you click Yes, the new page is created based on the old template. However, if you click No, the selected template is updated, and then the page is created.

    Note: If a template is not available, the For Selected Template option is disabled.
