Edit content in a template-based document in Dreamweaver, modify template properties, and use repeating region entries.
Dreamweaver templates specify regions that are locked (uneditable) and others that are editable for template-based documents.
In pages based on templates, template users can edit content in editable regions only. You can easily identify and select editable regions to edit content. Template users cannot edit content in locked regions.
If you try to edit a locked region in a document based on a template when highlighting is turned off, the mouse pointer changes to indicate that you can’t click in a locked region.
Template users can also modify properties and edit entries for a repeating region in template-based documents.
Modify template properties
