What's new in Contribute

  • Predefined content types new
    Define content types that specify the design template and review process that will be used automatically when a new page is created. Content type can be HTML or XML.
  • XML editing new
    Edit XML file content without opening an XML editor; insert and delete data without altering the document structure. Easily update Spry data sets and other pages that render content from XML files or dynamic XML-based sites.
  • True WYSIWYG web authoring enhanced
    Take advantage of enhanced CSS rendering, which enables content authors to edit without writing code and to see the results of their edits instantly. Adobe® Contribute® CS5 immediately updates edits to XML content and Spry widgets.
  • Rich media support enhanced
    Easily drag and drop images, FLV and SWF files, or PDF documents into your web pages. Contribute automatically uploads the dependent files to the web server when the pages are published in predefined locations.
  • Cross-browser preview new
    Verify the look and feel of updated pages in multiple browsers. Windows® users can view three browsers simultaneously for side-by-side comparison.
  • Subversion support new
    Manage site files more effectively in collaborative, version-controlled environments with support for Subversion® software. Roll back pages to previously archived files using Subversion.
  • In-browser editing enhanced
    Allow authors to edit pages directly in a web browser with no need to open another application. The Contribute CS5 in-browser editor supports most browsers, including Firefox 3–3.6 and Internet Explorer 7 and 8.
  • Collaborative publishing enhanced
    Establish collaborative workflow processes to 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.
  • Dynamic website editing enhanced
    Add content to dynamic websites powered by Movable Type, TypePad, or WordPress. Simply define the Contribute connection with the proper settings, and site content is instantly available for updating.
