Viewing and updating thumbnails

When you edit and save an HTML or XHTML file, its thumbnail is stored in the site project file. You can view the thumbnail in the Content tab of the File Inspector. You can also display pages and files as thumbnails in a navigation view or links view.

Alternatively, you can generate thumbnails for all the pages in a site at once. Updating content thumbnails in this way is useful when you import a developed site and want thumbnails for all its pages available in the navigation view of the site before you edit any one of them.

To update thumbnails in a view:

1. Display a view with pages you want to show as thumbnails, either a navigation view or links view.
2. Make sure that items in the view are set to be shown as thumbnails. If necessary, click the Display tab in the View palette, and then select Thumbnails under Show Items As.
3. Do any of the following:
• Expand the pages in the view that you want updated.
• Collapse the pages that you don't want updated.
4. Choose Diagram > Update Thumbnails. The duration of the update process depends on the number of pages to update.

To update a thumbnail in the File Inspector:

1. Select the file in the site window that you want to update.
2. In the Content tab of the File Inspector, click the Update Thumbnail icon .
