Editing content in a template-based document

Editing content in a template-based document

Dreamweaver templates specify regions that are locked (uneditable) and others that are editable for template-based documents (see About Dreamweaver templates).

In pages based on templates (see Creating a document based on an existing template), template users can edit content in editable regions only. You can easily identify and select editable regions to edit content (see Selecting editable regions). Template users cannot edit content in locked regions

NOTE

If you try to edit a locked region in a document based on a template when highlighting is turned off, the mouse pointer changes to indicate that you can’t click in a locked region. This is a picture of the feature being described.

Template users can also modify properties and edit entries for a repeating region in template-based documents.
