CityDesk 2.0-Documentation
Lesson 8 - Editing from Your Web Browser

Murphy's Law requires that all web sites contain embarrassing typographical errors (like calling the CEO of your company "Mr. Potatohead" instead of his actual name). When you're looking at your own web site on the web, it's nice to be able to fix those the minute you notice them.

When you first ran CityDesk, it installed a tool bar icon in Internet Explorer that lets you edit pages that you created with CityDesk. When you click on the icon, a new copy of CityDesk starts up and takes you right to the article you were looking at.

To use this feature to edit a file, you need to be at the computer that has the original CityDesk file.

  Use the Preview button to preview your site. Click on the Internet Explorer button to view it in Internet Explorer.

  In Internet Explorer, click on the link to the Getting Started article.

  Click on the down arrow to the right of the Edit button in the Internet Explorer toolbar. Choose Edit with CityDesk from the list.

Another copy of CityDesk will launch and take you directly to the Getting Started article, which you can easily edit, save, and republish.

Note: If you don't see the Edit button in Internet Explorer, you may have to customize your toolbar. Here's how:

  In Internet Explorer, right-click on the main toolbar (this is the one that has Back, Forward, etc.)

  Click Customize...

  Find the Edit button on the left hand list and click Add.

  Click Close.
