GoLive organizes a site into six areas to handle different aspects of site management. You can select from the list on the left side of the site window to view the contents of the different areas on the right side of the site window. The site window includes a Preview and Info tab that allow you to inspect the contents of the areas. Also, the site window includes a menu bar underneath the list of areas on the left and a menu bar at the top of the site window area pane to help you manage the area contents.

The site window

Assets

Contains HTML, XHTML, XML, media, and other files, as well as folders that you can use to organize the files.

The status column in the Assets contains icons that show you each file’s status. For instance, the checkmark icon  indicates that the file is error-free—that all files referenced in it have been found. A construction worker indicates that the file is empty. Other icons may indicate warnings or errors.

Resources

Displays styles, color swatches, external URLs and e-mail addresses referenced by the site files, and font sets used.

Warnings

Contains missing files, orphan files, Smart Object warnings, and files that have a name that doesn’t meet your file name constraints. An orphan file is referenced in a link but GoLive can’t find the file. If you manage files in the site window, you can avoid creating orphan files.

Collections

Displays custom sets of one or more files that you select manually or define as a result of a query, syntax check, or find operation. This area allows you to search for all components and all templates. An extensive list of pre-existing queries is available when you select the New Collection button. You can use collections to organize multiple files within a site to streamline your work and save time, such as from tedious manual searching or from redesigning pages for which you already have a basis for creating.

Publish Server

Displays the site on a remote server while GoLive is connected to a publish server (an FTP, WebDAV, or local file server). Allows you to create a new server and add or view a favorite server and manage Publish Server settings.

Trash

Contains a list of the files that have been deleted from the site. You can click Empty Trash to move these files into the system recycle bin.
