With Adobe Contribute CS5 you can:
Update sites efficiently. Contributors can edit XML and Spry widgets natively, as well as create and 
edit text, hotspot images, CSS, FLV and SWF files, and more, all within the Contribute in-browser 
WYSIWYG environment. Ensure site integrity and shorten turnaround time by utilizing predefined 
content types, simplifying normally repetitive design tasks. Advanced search and replace works 
across multiple draft pages, allowing for content update with fewer actions. Multiple simultaneous 
reviews help shorten the approval process.
Increase contributor productivity. Enable content authors to take a more active editorial role by 
using features such as in-browser editing of text and images, dragging and dropping of FLV and 
SWF files, and direct modification of XML and Server Side Include files— all without writing code, 
and within a familiar WYSIWYG environment. Enhancements such as an in-line spelling checker, 
support for superscript and subscript, and the ability to define image hotspots give content authors 
easy control over tasks that typically fall to HTML experts. Content authors can test compatibility 
themselves by using the cross-browser preview and compare features.
Speed up publishing cycles. Establish workflow processes for collaborative authoring, 
reviewing, and publishing. To create additional predefined content types for a website, simply 
create new DWT or XML templates using Dreamweaver CS5 software and add them to the site. 
Subversion integration facilitates management and redeployment of previous site and page 
versions. Shorten approval cycles by enabling multiple reviewers to comment on drafts 
simultaneously. With a single click, publish updates to websites or blogs using FTP, SFTP, 
WebDAV, MetaWeblog, and Atom protocols.
Who uses Adobe Contribute?
Web developers who manage sites for multiple clients use Contribute to enable clients to handle 
much of their own site updates. By allowing access to only specific content types or certain page 
regions, designers can maintain control of site appearance and functionality. Clients can update 
blogs and other dynamic or static content on an as-needed basis, so developers can focus on 
writing code instead of on updating content. 
Content contributors, marketing managers, and subject matter experts rely on Contribute to 
keep their websites current without involving a webmaster or developer. Updating text, tables, and 
even XML documents becomes the domain of those individuals with the greatest familiarity with 
the content. In-browser editing and multiple-browser preview enables better verification of 
updated content accuracy and its appearance on any platform, helping to better ensure the 
integrity of the web experience for site visitors. 
Web administrators and webmasters use Contribute to ensure timely and compelling site updates 
by teams of content authors. By defining editorial workflows, managers can control the level of 
access content authors have and determine update schedules that keep websites fresh with secure 
and trackable edits. With WYSIWYG and in-browser editing of text, images, rich media, and even 
Server Side Includes (SSI) and XML, Contribute can enable teams to maximize website workflow 
participation of all team members. Managers can see more work being completed in a shorter 
amount of time, without costly CMS programming and time lost due to content-author training.
Top new features of Adobe Contribute CS5
Predefined content types
With predefined content types, web administrators can specify particular 
Dreamweaver
 
templates, 
XML templates, and workflows that will be used when creating new pages based on content type. 
This allows new pages to be created quickly, drawing on existing site designs, preserving current 
page functionality, and defining content regions for secure editing by contributors. Set edit 
workflows to hold new pages for review or to have them go live instantly. Set expiration dates 
automatically as new pages based on predefined content types are created. The content types can 
be defined for both XML and HTML pages. Defining content types can greatly simplify the 
administrator’s task of site management.
