You have a SharePoint Server 2010 server farm that contains one Web Application. You discover that
several site owners use Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010 to customize the master pages of their
sites. You need to prevent site owners from modifying their master pages by using SharePoint
Designer. What should you do?
A.
Modify the master page gallery of each site.
B.
Modify the master page settings of each site.
C.
From Central Administration, modify the SharePoint Designer settings.
D.
From Central Administration, modify the content deployment settings.
Explanation:
Detaching pages from their site definition – When you do this, intentionally or not, the page
overrides the site definition and therefore won’t be recognized the next time the site definition is
updated. This means you’ll be talking to your SharePoint administrator the next time the server is
upgraded.
Customize master pages and page layouts – While this may improve the look and feel of your site,
there’s a risk that you’ll remove the corporate brand that was intended for all sites in your
organization. Even worse, you could potentially break your site and other sites if you change or
delete a required content region.
Editing files directly in the site URL structure – This might be a quick and easy way to modify any file
on your site, but in doing so, you could mistakenly delete a support file or template file required by
SharePoint.
So on one hand, SharePoint Designer 2010 gives you a lot of power and flexibility in how you change
the appearance or functionality of a SharePoint site. But on the other, if it’s used incorrectly, it can
create issues for you, your site, and of course, your administrator.The SharePoint Designer Settings page
In SharePoint 2010, you and your administrator will be happy to learn about the SharePoint Designer
Settings page, which looks like this.
The SharePoint Designer Settings page helps you manage how SharePoint Designer 2010 is used in
your organization by giving you control of these settings:
Enable SharePoint Designer: Enables or disables SharePoint Designer for an entire application or site
collection. When checked, SharePoint Designer can open and edit SharePoint sites. When
unchecked, it cannot be used to open or edit sites.
Enable Detaching Pages from the Site Definition: Enables or disables the ability to detach pages from
the site definition. When checked, SharePoint Designer allows users to edit pages in Advanced
Mode, giving them access to every part of the page and consequently when they save, the page is
detached from its site definition. When unchecked, SharePoint
Designer disables the Advanced Mode, forcing users to edit only the parts of the page in a Web Part
Zone. The page, as a result, is never detached from the site definition.
Enable Customizing Master Pages and Layout Pages – Enables or disables master pages and page
layouts in SharePoint Designer. When checked, SharePoint Designer displays master pages and page
layouts in the Navigation pane. When unchecked, these pages don’t appear in the Navigation pane
of SharePoint Designer.
Enable Managing of the Web Site URL Structure – Enables or disables the site URL structure and its
contents. When checked, SharePoint Designer displays the All Files options in the Navigation pane
allowing users to view and edit any file on the site. When unchecked, the All Files option doesn’t
appear in the Navigation pane
