Manufacturer's Description
Adobe Contribute 4 enables anyone to quickly, easily, and safely update existing websites and blogs. With Adobe Contribute 4, content authors can post and publish content to multiple websites and blogs from a single application or publish directly from within Microsoft Office applications. And because Adobe Contribute 4 works seamlessly with Macromedia Dreamweaver from Adobe, website integrity is never compromised even when multiple authors update content across the site.

For professional web designers and developers, and for website administrators, ensuring website and blog content remains fresh and current is an enormous challenge. Often, this means delegating the responsibility for updating web content and authoring blog entries to numerous contributors, which can put website integrity at risk, especially when disparate tools are used for the different tasks. With Adobe Contribute 4, anyone can quickly and easily update multiple websites and blogs using a single application without compromising site integrity.

Simply browse to a website that needs updating or a blog that requires a new entry. Make changes to the content using Adobe Contribute 4 and publish when finished. Or publish content directly from Microsoft Word, Excel, or Outlook. Integration with Macromedia Dreamweaver templates ensures that the website look-and-feel stays consistent even when multiple authors update content across the site. And fine-grained website authoring permissions let site administrators maintain control over who updates which content on the site at all times.

With Adobe Contribute 4, anyone can update website content or create blog entries using a single application. True WYSIWYG authoring capabilities let users edit any website or blog in three simple steps, dramatically reducing editing time. Simply browse to the website or blog entry, click Edit to make changes, then click Publish when ready to post the new content. Alternatively, authors can publish directly from within Microsoft Office applications with the click of a button. Just open the document that contains the content to publish, click Publish, and select the target website or blog.

Even rich media, images, movies, and Adobe Flash Video can be easily included in any website or blog using Adobe Contribute 4. In Edit mode, just drag and drop the file onto the website or blog entry. Adobe Contribute 4 automatically uploads the file and posts it to the site on publish. Because authors edit content and add images in their actual context on the website or blog before publishing, content length and style, as well as image sizes are right the first time.

Seamless integration between Adobe Contribute 4 and Dreamweaver templates ensures that website look-and-feel is never compromised, even when multiple authors update content across the site. Web designers and developers can create page templates with editable regions during website creation and then delegate routine content updates to business users. Because content authors can only update the areas designated by the designer or webmaster, the website always appears as the designer intended. And just like Dreamweaver, Adobe Contribute 4 preserves code quality and formats through the editing process.

With Adobe Contribute 4, site administrators can ensure that only authorized contributors can update specified website content. Fine-grained permissions let administrators define who can edit a website or specific content on a page within a website. Or limit certain users to edit only, no publish to ensure appropriate content approval workflows. If required, administrators can also roll back to a previous version of the web page with just a few mouse clicks. And when Adobe Contribute 4 is deployed with Adobe Contribute Publishing Server (CPS), administrators can easily add and define permissions based on their defined roles in enterprise directory sources, such as LDAP or Active Directory.

Adobe Contribute 4 makes it easy for site administrators to get users started with blogging using the same familiar environment they use to update website content. Work offline; then publish when ready and never lose content due to a lost connection or browser 'Back' button. Easily add tags to blog entries without messy HTML coding, and use any tag repository to help other users find the blog content. With Adobe Contribute 4, users can post to multiple blogs from a single application, saving time and money. Plus, multiple users can simultaneously post new content to the same blog, improving content freshness.
