About Adobe InContext Editing

Adobe InContext Editing is an online hosted service that lets users make simple content changes within a web browser. To change a web page, users simply browse to the page, log in to the InContext Editing service, and edit the page. The editing options are simple and elegant, and using them requires no previous knowledge of HTML code or web editing.

Before you enable users to make live changes on the web, however, you use Dreamweaver to make your HTML pages editable. You do this by specifying regions on the page that you want to allow users to edit. For example, you might have a news page with titles and blurbs for articles. You can select this content and then transform it into an InContext Editing editable region so that when a user logs into the InContext Editing service, they can edit the titles and blurbs directly in a browser.

This documentation tells you how to work with InContext Editing editable regions in Dreamweaver; but Adobe also provides a number of other resources to help you work with InContext Editing:
