In addition to the files that directly affect site presentation, there are several files that also have an impact on what a Site Studio Web site looks like. You generally do not see them visually represented on the Web site, but they do work "behind the scenes" to make sure the site looks and functions as intended.
Site Studio uses the following files for site control and configuration:
Element definitions: Files that define the editing experience for element types. Specifically, they specify what a contributor can do when editing an element. See Elements and Element Definitions for more information.
Region definitions: Files that define the type of content that elements of a particular type consists of. They also specify the content creation and switching options available to contributors for contribution regions, and set default metadata for content files associated with these regions. See Region Templates and Region Definitions for more information.
Placeholder definitions: Files that define what region definitions, region templates, and subtemplates are allowed for the associated placeholders. They also specify what contributor actions are allowed for the placeholders. See Placeholders and Placeholder Definitions for more information.
Scripts: JavaScript files that provide a series of commands that can be executed without user interaction. Scripts are often used to provide additional functionality to web pages.
Custom configuration scripts: JavaScript files that override the default Contributor editor configuration to provide contributors with a customized editing experience.
Custom element forms: HTML files that define custom forms for use in elements (for example, selection forms for specific file types). Site Studio comes with several predefined custom element forms (in [CS-Dir]\custom\SiteStudio\elementforms). (These forms are also checked into the content server when the Site Studio component is installed.)
Validation scripts: JavaScript files that define the validation rules for element data to determine that the data meets the requirements (for example, it does not exceed a certain maximum length or contain some illegal characters).
Fragment libraries: Collections of chunks of code (fragments) that enhance the functionality of a Site Studio Web site (for example, by providing dynamic navigation aids or a standard page footer).
Manager configuration settings: Files that define the functionality that is available in Site Studio Manager. Manager is a web-based tool that allows designated users (site managers) to modify the structure of a Web site.
Conversion definitions: Files that specify the conversion rules for native documents on a Web site.
