Modifying templates and updating the site

When you make a change to a template, Dreamweaver prompts you to update the pages that use the template. You can also use the update commands to manually update the current page or the entire site. Applying the update commands is the same as reapplying the template.

To open the template used to create the current document:

Choose Modify > Templates > Open Attached Template.

Now modify the content of the template as necessary. To modify the template's page properties, choose Modify > Page Properties. (Documents created from a template inherit the template's page properties, except for the page title.)

To update the current document to the most current version of a template:

Choose Modify > Templates > Update Current Page.

To update the entire site or all documents that use a particular template:

1	Choose Modify > Templates > Update Pages.
	The Update Pages dialog box appears.
2	In the Look In pop-up menu, do one of the following:
	Choose Entire Site, and then select the site name. This updates all pages in the selected site to their corresponding templates.
	Choose Files That Use, and then select the template name. This updates all pages in the current site that use the selected template.
3	Make sure Templates is selected in the Update option.
4	Click Start.
