Creating and modifying links in the site map

You can modify the structure of the site in the site map by adding, changing, and removing links. The site map is updated automatically to display the changes to the site.

To add a link, do one of the following:

Drag a page from the Windows Explorer or the Macintosh Finder onto a page in the site map.
Select an HTML page and choose Site > Link to Existing File (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Link to Existing File (Macintosh), or choose Link to Existing File from the context menu.
Select an HTML page in the site map. The Point-to-File icon appears. Drag the icon to the object you want to link to: either a file in the Site Files view, an open Dreamweaver document, or a named anchor in a document open on the desktop. See Linking documents using the Property inspector and the Point-to-File icon.

To change a link:

1 In the site map, select the page whose link you're changing, and choose Site > Change Link (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Change Link (Macintosh).
2 Browse to the file or type a URL.

To remove a link, do one of the following:

Select the page in the site map and choose Site > Remove Link (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Remove Link (Macintosh).
Select the page in the site map and choose Remove Link from the context menu. Removing a link does not delete the file, but removes the link from the HTML source on the page that is pointing to the link.

To open the source of a link:

1 Select a file in the site map.
2 Choose Site > Open Source of Link (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Open Source of Link (Macintosh).
The Property inspector and the source file containing the link are opened. The link is highlighted.
