  • Cross-browser preview - Verify the look and feel of updated pages in multiple browsers. Preview edited pages in any installed browser. Windows users can view three browsers simultaneously with synchronous navigation and crawling for side-by-side comparison.
  • Spry widget editing - Edit any content contained in a variety of Spry widgets, including data within accordion, tabbed, and collapsible panels. Change properties such as panel transition animation effects.
  • Multipage search and replace - Use the enhanced search and replace capability to update information on multiple open draft pages. Streamline the update process by performing a previously tedious task in minutes.
  • Subversion support - Roll back pages to previously archived files using the built-in Contribute rollback feature or Subversion software, which is supported by Contribute CS5.
  • Image hotspot support - Create multiple links to different parts of a single image with integrated WYSIWYG hotspot support. Draw one or more hotspots onto any image, and then add alternative text and URLs for immediate interactivity.
  • SWF or FLV embedding - Insert SWF or FLV files, and Contribute creates web standards–compliant code, compatible with that created in Adobe Dreamweaver software. This helps ensure that content is Adobe Flash Player compatible while enabling drag-and-drop authoring in Contribute.
  • Server Side includes file editing - Allow authors to edit Server Side Includes (SSI) files. Authors can choose SSI files from a list, without needing to know the file path. Modify HTML content in the SSI file with Contribute.
