Working with pages in the site map
When working in the site map, you can select pages, open a page for editing, add new pages to the site, create links between files, and change page titles.
To select multiple pages in the site map, do one of the following:
-
Shift-click to select a range of adjacent pages.
-
Starting from a blank part of the view, drag around a group of files to select them.
-
Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) to select nonadjacent pages.
To open a page in the site map for editing, do one of the following:
-
Double-click the file.
-
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the file, then select Open.
To add an existing file to the site, do one of the following:
-
Drag the file from the Windows Explorer or the Macintosh Finder to a file in the site map. The page is added to the site, and a link is created between it and the file you dragged it to.
-
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the file in the site map, select Link to Existing File, then browse to the file.
To create a new file and add a link in the site map:
-
Select a file in the site map.
-
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Link to New File.
The Link to New File dialog box appears.
-
Enter a name, title, and text for the link.
-
Click OK.
Dreamweaver saves the file in the same folder as the selected file. If you add a new file to a hidden branch, the new file is also hidden (see Showing and hiding site map files).
To modify the title of a page in the site map:
-
Make sure page titles are showing by clicking the Options menu in the upper-right corner of the collapsed Files panel, then selecting File > Rename View > Show Page Titles.
-
Select a file in the site map, then do one of the following:
- Click the title. When the title becomes editable, enter a new title.
- Click the Options menu in the upper-right corner, then select File > Rename.
-
Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) after you type the new name.

When you work in the Files panel, Dreamweaver automatically updates all links to files whose names have changed.
