Launching Contributor

The site designer can make particular areas on a Web site available to site contributors (the 'contribution regions'), so they can edit or update the content in these contribution regions. The first step to edit or update content on a web page is to open that page in contribution mode. This is done by pressing a special key combination while viewing the web page in a web browser. The default key combination is Ctrl+Shift+F5, but the site administrator may have set up a different combination. Contact your site designer or administrator if you are not sure what key combination to use to activate contribution mode.

When you press the assigned key combination, you may be prompted for your login credentials (user name and password) to connect to the content server that the Web site resides on. After you log on, the Contributor application is launched and the page is displayed in contribution mode (see Contribution Mode). Please note that pressing the special key combination is the only way to launch the Contributor application; you cannot launch it from the Windows desktop or the Start menu.
