Editable region became uneditable

[HeleneZS]

This is weird! While my clients were working on the site in Contribute, some
of the pages lost the ability to edit one of the editable regions. All the
pages are based on the same template, but when I open some of the pages in
Dreamweaver, I can see the editable tags are gone.

So I have two questions:

1. How might this have happened? How can I prevent it?

2. I know I can reapply the template in Dreamweaver to make the region
editable again, but I'd rather not, because it might cause other changes they
made to revert to default. Is there a way for them to reapply the template
using Contribute?

Thanks!

Contribute does not delete the editable regions by any means... Sorry
for the mis-conception. Also, contribute cannot apply a template to a
page. It is not a designer tool. You will have to do it with
dreamweaver. Also, FYI..Iguess.. contribute downloads a local copy of
the server template and uses the same and it does not alter the server
version of your template in anyway.. hope it is clear ??
