What is a .dwt file?

A .dwt file is a template that uses the same layout structure throughout your website. This structure is consistent and is seldom modified. A .dwt file usually incorporates top or side navigation  elements and includes an editable region for the content, that can be changed in each separate html file. The main structure of the .dwt file is locked in a html file that uses the .dwt file. Only the content is editable.

When you create a new page, all you need to do is to use the command ‘modify > Templates > apply template to page.‘

What are the benefits of using .dwt files?

When you use .dwt files on each of your html files, you can edit the core .dwt file such as inserting a new navigation button or deleting an existing one, and the changes will be reflected sitewide, without having to do it manually on each html page, saving you considerable time and effort.
