What’s New
Published pages based on content type can be tracked as a Smart List—an XML file providing the
metadata about each publish operation of the content type, such as author name, date and time of
publishing, and so on. This list can be used as dynamic data in another file or can be used as data
for site analytics.

XML editing
Edit site-associated XML content natively, without having to leave Contribute in order to open an
XML editor. Easily update the contents of XML files that are rendered by dynamic pages. Allow
modification of XML element and attribute values, while protecting document structure elements
such as nodes and tags. In the past, XML data editing has typically been assigned to an expert, but
now content authors themselves can easily update XML data without fear of disturbing the
underlying structure. This feature also enables editing of Spry data sets and other dynamic pages
that render data content from an XML file, or even entire dynamic sites built using XML; the
content author simply browses to the corresponding XML files to edit them.

Contribute CS5 expedites content updates by allowing you to create content types that have their own unique HTML or XML template (left), expiration dates that are
set automatically when a page is created (center), and review and approval workflows (right). As content authors create new stories and rich media, they can create
new pages to display the content, and the web administrator can be secure in knowing that the design and functionality of the new pages will be identical to any other
pages based on the same templates and content types.

Previously, editing the data in an XML file required accessing the code from within an external XML editor. With Contribute CS5, content authors can edit XML data
directly, without having to worry about XML tags. Users simply browse to the XML file (left), then click on the Edit Page button (center). This brings up the Edit Mode for
XML files (right), which protects the file structure while allowing content authors to edit only the data. Depending on the Workflow settings for the corresponding
content type, the edited XML data is made live or sent though the review and approval process.
