Lesson 17. Decentralizing with Contribute

As a Studio 8 developer, your favorite feature of Contribute 3 probably won't be its interface, one of its features, or some nifty command. More likely, your favorite feature will be some tedious content update task you

won't dobecause someone else can! Contribute 3 frees designers and programmers from Web-content maintenance tasks and lets content experts take ownership of their own content, without having to go through the IT staff every time they need to make a small change on the site. This accessibility is made possible by Contribute's unique browse-edit-publish paradigm, sophisticated administration options, secure reviews prior to publishing, and integration with Microsoft Office products. Given that Contribute also provides cross-platform and multi-browser support, Web maintenance has never been easier and more efficient.

Contribute's Browse-to-Edit paradigm makes web maintenance a breeze.
