About Design Notes and source files

Whenever you export a Fireworks file from a saved source PNG file to a Dreamweaver site, Fireworks writes a Design Note that contains information about the PNG file. When you open and edit a Fireworks image from within Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver uses the Design Note to locate the source PNG for that file. For best results, always save your Fireworks source PNG file and exported files in a Dreamweaver site. This ensures that any user sharing the site can locate the source PNG when starting Fireworks from within Dreamweaver.
