The Files tab


If you have named your site Mysite, the Files tab lists the page and media files in the folder Mysite. If a page contain anchors, the tab lists them under the page. If you have imported a site that groups its pages and media in folders, the tab retains that folder structure.

You can use the Files tab as you would use the Windows Explorer or MacOS Finder, both to navigate the files in your site and to perform basic file-management operations. You can drag files to other folders in the tab and to other tabs, copy files to the Clipboard, delete files, spell check files, and open files in appropriate windows. HTML files open in Adobe GoLive document windows.

For each file, the tab lists particulars such as name, size, and date modified by column.
  • In the Status column, a checkmark () indicates that the file is error-free--that all files referenced in it have been found. For information about the meaning of other status icons, see Checking the site for pages with errors.

    • In the Filename Status column, an "error" symbol () indicates that the name of the file violates some filename constraint. For information, see About filenames. The Filename Status column is ordinarily hidden.
  • In the Locked column, a padlock () indicates a locked file in Mac OS or a read-only file in Windows. For information, see Unlocking locally locked files. A pencil () indicates a locked workgroup file. For information, see Enhancing WebDAV with Workgroup Support.
  • In the Used column, a number indicates the number of links to the file from other files at the site. The links can be hyperlinks or references. For information about hyperlinks and references, see About links in site views.
