About graphical site views


    GoLive provides site views that are graphical representations of a site's pages and the links that connect them. You can use the graphical site views with the site window to display and edit the content and structure of your Web site, and examine the links and relationships between pages.

    • The navigation view shows a tree-like hierarchy of pages (beginning with the home page) that underlies the web of links in your site. You can add pages to the structure, move pages around, and open pages from the navigation view. (See About navigation view.)
    • The links view shows a web of actual links going in and out from each page to other pages, images, or media files in your site, and to external URLs or e-mail addresses. You can expand or collapse the various levels of links to focus on the overall structure of links in the site or links of a single page. (See About links view.)

    The pages shown in each graphical site view are also listed in the Files tab of the site window. When you select a page in a view, you can select the same page in the Files tab by clicking the Reveal In Site button Reveal in Explorer (Windows) or Reveal in Finder (Mac OS) button on the toolbar. By using options on the View palette, you can expand the site views into additional panes that display a panorama of the site, reference pages used by a selected page in the site, or scratch pages that are not linked to any pages in the site.

    GoLive also provides other graphical tools for managing and viewing Web sites. You can generate a site report to display a graphical navigation view or structure view of a site. (See Viewing site reports.) You can use the In & Out Links palette to see incoming and outgoing links for files, and change links and file references throughout a site. (See Using the In & Out Links palette.) You can also use design diagrams to show the hierarchy of pages and the connections between site assets. (See About design diagrams.)
