Starting Designer

To start Site Studio Designer, open the Start menu, select Programs, then Oracle Universal Content Management, then select Site Studio 10gR4, and then Site Studio Designer.

The first time the Designer application is launched, it displays an empty site hierarchy and workspace, and it prompts you to create a Web site. Thereafter, Designer opens the last Web site you worked on. You can prevent Designer from automatically reconnecting to the last site on the Customize dialog (Miscellaneous tab), which is called up by opening the Tools menu and then choosing Customize.

Note: Site Studio 10gR4 is fully backward compatible. This means that you can use Site Studio Designer 10gR4 to work with sites created in earlier Site Studio releases. It is important to note, though, that these sites continue to work in "legacy" mode; that is, they use the pre-10gR4 architecture and they do not take advantage of the architecture and features introduced in Site Studio 10gR4.
