Adobe Contribute CS4 software enables users to collaboratively author, review, and publish web content while maintaining site integrityÑwithout learning HTML. Administrators can define and enforce individual workflows for content in different website sections and enable users to easily edit content directly in their browsers. Tight integration with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 software helps ensure consistent site design. Simplify web content management
True WYSIWYG web authoring
Update and add content within the context of a web page. Text is incorporated into the design while the layout and CSS styles persist. Work in a rendered HTML environment or directly in the browser.
In-browser editing
Edit pages directly in your web browser without having to open another application. The Contribute CS4 in-browser editor supports most browsers, including Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
Website administration
Set roles and responsibilities and enforce a review and approval process. Fine-grained permissions enable administrators to define who can edit and who can publish content.
Collaborative publishing
Establish workflow processes to collaboratively author, review, and publish content. Define different review paths at the template level, whether a single approval for an internal web page or multiple sign-offs for a public page.
Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 compatibility
Easily edit advanced layout components. Contribute CS4 works with Dreamweaver templates and allows you to design the site while letting content contributors add to it without risk.
Clean XHTML file creation and editing
Input and style text, images, FLV and SWF files, or PDF documents, and Contribute CS4 outputs standards-compliant, valid XHTML code. All of the designer's code formatting in Dreamweaver is preserved during editing and publishing.
Unified web publishing
Post your updates from Contribute CS4 using any standard file transfer, web authoring, or blogging protocol, including FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, MetaWeblog, and Atom. Choose to publish from within Contribute or directly from Microsoft Office applications.
Rich media support
Easily drag and drop your images, FLV and SWF files, or PDF documents into your Contribute pages. Contribute automatically uploads the dependent files to the web server when the pages are published in administrator-selected locations.
Robust draft capabilities
Avoid losing your content changes due to a dropped Internet connection. Work offline and store your drafts locally. For quick revisions, go to the Drafts panel and reopen your file with a single click.
Version Rollback feature
Use the Rollback feature to return to an earlier version of your web page. Contribute site administrators determine the number of available rollbacks (up to 99) and assign rollback permissions to fit your organization's needs.
