Edit Template Itself in Contribute
I know the client can edit the editable regions of pages based on a template.
BUT can they also edit the template itself? I have setup a sidebar in the
template which is locked because it has to be replicated on all the site's
pages based on the template. But the content of the sidebar needs to change
frequently, so I want the client to be able to go into the template page itself
and make the changes to the sidebar and then publish it and UPDATE all the
pages based on the template. Can they do that in Contribute?

Contribute. Remember, in order for the users to edit a page, they have
to be able to navigate to the page with their browser (or contribute).
With that in mind, here's an approach:
Put the side bar all by itself in a separate html page. Obviously
most, if not all, of this page are "editable". Thus, the user can edit
the side bar. Now, use PHP to create the sidebar in every "actual"
page by reading the sidebar.html file and plucking out the areas that
you want. Your actual pages will still have the sidebar in a non-
editable region (since that area is created by PHP). Seems fairly
straight-forward to me.

In Contribute, the customer can play in the Editable region. You can use Dreamweaver to do the same.

In Contribute you can't edit the Templates.
