Did you know…
New features let you preview and test web content twice as fast
According to independent research, using Live View is nearly twice as fast as previewing rendered pages in a browser. Using Live Code, you see the results of coding changes in Live View more than twice as fast as you would switching to a browser. In addition, you can click a related file to see both its source in Code view and the parent page in Design view.
Clients can quickly and easily edit their pages with Adobe InContext Editing
With InContext Editing, you can define editable regions in your web pages that almost anyone can edit directly from a browser, without any additional software. InContext Editing preserves your design integrity, while saving you time.
