Opening sites that have already been mounted

Once a local copy of a workgroup site exists on your computer, you can open it like any other GoLive site. If you've mounted a workgroup site, converted a single-user site, or created a site using the site wizard, a local copy of the site exists on your computer. When you open the local copy, GoLive requires you to log into the Workgroup Server. This allows you to check in or check out files and see whether other workgroup users have checked out files in the site.

To open a workgroup site that is already mounted:

1. Do one of the following:
• Choose File > Open Recent Files, and select the site from the submenu.
• Choose File > Open, navigate to the mounted site file, select it and click OK.
• In your file system, locate the mounted copy of the workgroup site file, and double-click its icon.
2. In the login dialog box, enter your password and click OK.

Note: If you saved your password when you mounted the site, you are logged in automatically and the login dialog box does not appear.

If you open a workgroup site when the Workgroup Server is not running, an alert appears. Click OK to open the local copy of the workgroup site anyway. Files that are currently checked out to you are available for editing. (See Editing checked out files in offline mode.) The following files are available in read-only mode:

• Files that you've checked out in the past, and checked in again. Checking in a file updates the site on the server and leaves a local copy of the file on your computer.
• Files that you've downloaded. Downloading a file doesn't check it out, but places a read-only version on your computer, useful when you want to check links to it from files that are checked out.
