Once you have a document open in both BBEdit and Dreamweaver, switching from one application to the other automatically updates the document with the latest changes. In addition, the two programs track the current selection; for example, you can make a selection in Dreamweaver and then switch to BBEdit where the same element will be selected.
You can disable BBEdit integration if you prefer working with an older version of BBEdit or a different HTML text editor. See Using an external text editor with Dreamweaver. Selections are not tracked if BBEdit integration is turned off.
