TOP FEATURES:

• True WYSIWYG web authoring
  Update and add content within the context of a web page. Text is incorporated into the design while the layout and CSS styles persist. Work in a rendered HTML environment or directly in the browser.

• In-browser editing
  Edit pages directly in your web browser without having to open another application. The Adobe Contribute CS4 in-browser editor supports most browsers, including Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 6 and 7.

• Website administration
  Set roles and responsibilities and enforce a review and approval process. Fine-grained permissions enable administrators to define who can edit and who can publish content.

• Collaborative publishing
  Establish workflow processes to collaboratively author, review, and publish content. Define different review paths at the template level, whether a single approval for an internal web page or multiple sign-offs for a public page.

• Adobe Dreamweaver compatibility
  Easily edit advanced layout components. Contribute CS4 works with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 templates and allows you to design the site while letting content contributors add to it without risk.

• Clean XHTML file creation and editing
  Input and style text, images, FLV and SWF files, or PDF documents, and Contribute CS4 outputs standards-compliant, valid XHTML code. All of the designer's code formatting in Dreamweaver is preserved during editing and publishing.

• Unified web publishing
  Post your updates from Contribute CS4 using any standard file transfer, web authoring, or blogging protocol, including FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, MetaWeblog, and Atom. Choose to publish from within Contribute or directly from Microsoft Office applications.

• Rich media support
  Easily drag and drop your images, FLV and SWF files, or PDF documents into your Contribute pages. Contribute automatically uploads the dependent files to the web server when the pages are published in administrator-selected locations.

• Robust draft capabilities
  Avoid losing your content changes due to a dropped Internet connection. Work offline and store your drafts locally. For quick revisions, go to the Drafts panel and reopen your file with a single click.

• Version Rollback feature
  Use the Rollback feature to return to an earlier version of your web page. Contribute site administrators determine the number of available rollbacks (up to 99) and assign rollback permissions to fit your organization's needs.

NEW FEATURES:

• In-context shared reviews
  Enable multiple reviewers to comment on drafts simultaneously with the in-context collaboration tool for faster and more effective web publishing cycles.

• Enhanced CSS support
  Enjoy improved CSS support and complete rendering fidelity between Contribute CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4.

• Content expiration notification
  Keep website content fresh with the new expiration notification feature. Set the expiration value for a single Contribute page or multiple pages, and Contribute will notify the designated content contributors when the expiration date nears.

• Dynamic website editing
  Add content to dynamic websites powered by Movable Type, TypePad, or WordPress with Contribute CS4. Simply define your Contribute site with the proper settings, and site content is instantly available for updating.

• More secure editing with Auto-Save
  Protect your content contributors' ongoing edits with the new Auto-Save feature, which enables you to specify how frequently updated drafts are saved. Content remains in draft format until the review and publish process is initiated.

• Visual blog configuration
  Avoid editing the BlogHub.csi file manually in a text editor to achieve specific goals such as allowing images wider than 150 pixels. Now, all such preferences are accessed visually for rapid adjustments.

• Site root-relative links
  Gain a finer degree of control over code than ever before. Website administrators can quickly specify whether links to pages or other elements are written as document-relative or site root-relative links.
