If you've already exported a sliced document, and you've made changes to the original document in Fireworks since you exported it, you can update just the image or slice that changed without having to export and upload the entire sliced image. It is recommended that you custom-name slices so that you can easily locate the replacement slice. For more information, see Naming slices.

To update a single slice:

  1. Hide the slice and edit the area underneath.
  2. Show the slice again.
  3. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the slice and select Export Selected Slice from the context menu.
  4. Click Export to export the slice into the same folder as the original slice using the same base name.
  5. Click OK when asked to replace the existing file.

    If you retain the original filename for the updated slice and upload the slice to the same place on your website where the original came from, the new slice replaces the original slice in the HTML document.

    NOTE

    Avoid resizing the slice beyond its original export size in Fireworks, or you could create unexpected results in the HTML document after the slice is updated.
