Hello , I want to have another PC edit my webpage. But how do I enable that function. Currently all the files are located on my PC. I can create a file share on a network drive would that work? and how do I store it there for editing?
Thanks!

The WebSiteX5 program can be installed on 2 PCs.
In WebSiteX5, you create a backup copy (5 Export > Export Project) with the file extension .iwzip and send this file, for example, using a service such as WeTransfer.com (free up to 2 GB).
The 2nd user can work on the project with the backup copy and then send it back to the 1st user as a backup copy via WeTransfer.com.
Only one user can work on the project at a time, otherwise content will be lost. The users therefore have to agree among themselves who can work on the project and who has to wait.
This method can be used, for example, between the web agency and the customer when the web agency creates the website and the customer works with it. If there are problems or requests for changes, the customer sends the backup copy to the web agency and must wait until the web agency sends the backup copy back.
Other methods would need to be explained by other users, so I don't have experience with them.
Tim,you can set the default project location to a network drive and many people do so, but it frequently becomes unstable and leads to corrupted projects.
If you choose to work on a network drive (or even a removeable drive) please make frequent backups (step 5 export) and never rely on the internal backup option. Append the date to each iwzip file so you always have multiple fallback positions.
You can even work with one drive, google drive, etc but this has proven to be unreliable and frequently unstable, even allowing one drive or similar to synchronise files stored locally can and has caused issues.
Safest to store the current iwzip in the cloud, network drive or external drive for access by multiple PCs.
