Adobe Contribute 4.0

Adobe® Contribute® (formerly Macromedia® Contribute) 4 enables anyone to quickly, easily, and safely update existing websites and blogs. With Contribute 4, content authors can post and publish content to multiple websites and blogs from a single application or publish directly from within Microsoft Office applications. And because Contribute 4 works seamlessly with Macromedia® Dreamweaver® from Adobe, website integrity is not compromised — even when multiple authors update content across the site.

Key features of Adobe Contribute 4:
* Unified web publishing tool. Enable users to update multiple websites and blogs using a single application — without learning HTML.
* WYSIWIG Authoring — Browse, edit, publish. Use the WYSIWIG authoring capabilities within Adobe® Contribute™ 4 to edit or update any website or blog in three simple steps, reducing editing time. Just browse to the website or blog, update or edit the content, and click Publish to post.
* Integration with Macromedia Dreamweaver from Adobe. Create page templates with editable regions using Macromedia® Dreamweaver®, and delegate routine content updates to users without compromising site integrity.
* Website administration console. Use fine-grained permissions to help ensure that only authorized users can update specified website content or blog entries. Disable the ability to publish for certain users, and assign roles to preserve content approval workflows.
* Integration with Microsoft Office. Content authors can post and publish directly from within Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and Outlook.
* Support for rich media. Include images, movies, and even Adobe Flash® Video in websites and blogs by dragging and dropping the file onto the web page or into the blog entry during edit. Contribute 4 automatically uploads the file upon publish.
* Drafts. Enable users to work offline without losing changes due to a dropped connection or a browser Back button.
* Rollback. Roll back to a previous version of a web page or blog entry.
* Support for all standard protocols. Publish to websites and blogs using any standard file transfer, web authoring, or blogging protocol, including FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and MetaWeblog.
