Finding files in your Dreamweaver site
Dreamweaver makes it easy to find selected, open, checked out, or recently modified files in your site. You can also find files that are newer in your local or remote site.
To find an open file in your site:
- Open the file in the Document window.
- Select Site > Locate in Site.
Dreamweaver selects the file in the Files panel.
NOTE

|
If the open file in the Document window is not part of the current site in the Files panel, Dreamweaver attempts to determine which of your Dreamweaver sites the file belongs to; if the current file belongs to only one local site, Dreamweaver opens that site in the Files panel, then highlights the file.
