Limiting available CSS styles

Although CSS style sheets often include many style definitions, you may want to limit the number of styles available to a given Contribute user role. Limiting available styles to those necessary for updating information within the body of a web page can help to eliminate potential stylistic editing mistakes by content editors with limited knowledge of web pages and CSS styles.

Contribute lets you limit the number of CSS styles available in the Style menu by selecting a CSS style sheet from which to filter styles for a given role. The filter file you select can include only those styles you want the members of that role to have access to, or you can create individual CSS style sheets for each role, and select them as the CSS styles to use for that role.

To limit the number of available CSS styles:

1. Open the Edit Role Name Settings dialog box, if it's not already open. (See Editing a role's settings.)
2. Click the Styles and Fonts category on the left side of the dialog box.
3. From the Style support pop-up menu, select Document-level CSS.
4. Select the following options:

   Allow users to apply styles

   Include CSS styles in the Style menu

   Show only CSS styles included in the CSS file

5. Click Choose.

   The Choose File on Website dialog box shows all folders and files under the website's root.

6. Navigate to the CSS style sheet whose styles you want to let users access from the Styles menu.
7. Select the CSS style sheet, and then click OK.
8. Select another role settings category to modify, or click OK to apply your changes.
