Contribute CS4 is an affordable solution that addresses Web creators' need for a simplified workflow that meets the legal and hierarchical requirements of their organizations.
Users can define and enforce custom publishing workflows and implement a real-time notification system that informs various users if and when their attention is required. Content authors and site administrators can also be alerted when a Web page expires.
To further streamline the editing process, Contribute CS4 offers a full-feature in-browser editor, compatible with Internet Explorer and Firefox, which allows users to edit and publish Web pages without opening a separate application. This enables content contributors that are not versed in HTML, such as business users, educators and government employees, to work within an advanced yet familiar interface, and accelerates publishing cycles by facilitating in-context, shared reviews via the Web.
Simplify web content management
Adobe Contribute CS4 software enables users to collaboratively author, review, and publish web content while maintaining site integrity — without learning HTML.
