The October 2017 release of Dreamweaver CC (version 18.0) now supports HiDPI on Windows, multi-monitors on Windows, and enhancements to the Git feature.
Read on for a quick introduction to these new features and enhancements.
For a summary of features introduced in earlier releases of Dreamweaver CC, see Feature summary
New in the October 2017 release
Dreamweaver CC now supports HiDPI displays for Windows and is per-monitor DPI-aware. That is, the application scales as per the scaling set of the monitor.
Earlier, in 4k displays, the UI elements in Dreamweaver did not scale properly. Items like menus, fonts, icons were pixelated and appeared small and blurry. With the support for HiDPI, Dreamweaver offers improved user experience. The UI elements appear crisper, without any pixelation. Further, you do not experience issues like overflow of UI elements.
New in the October 2017 release
Dreamweaver CC now offers multi-monitor support for Windows. The application automatically scales according to the resolution of the monitor.
Multi-monitor support offers several benefits. For example, you can untab a document and view the document in another monitor. By doing so, you can easily open and compare versions of a document, or two different documents.
It is also possible to view and edit different types of Dreamweaver documents in multi-monitors. For example, you can edit an HTML document in one monitor while viewing or editing a CSS document in another monitor.

Introduction to Dreamweaver
Multi-monitor support in Dreamweaver
Enhanced in the October 2017 release
The following are the enhancements introduced in this release for Git support:
You can now check the connectivity to your remote Git repository from within Dreamweaver. Click Test in the Site Setup dialog box or the Add New Remote dialog box. Dreamweaver tests whether or not the URL of your remote repository is valid.
Test remote connection for remote Git repositories
Note: The credentials that you enter while adding or connecting to the remote repository are not verified.
Dreamweaver now allows you to save your credentials when you clone a repository. You can save your credentials when you enter your credentials in the Site Setup dialog box. You need not enter your credentials every time you perform remote Git actions such as Push, Pull.
Earlier, the Save Credentials option was available in the Add Remote and Manage Remote dialog box. Every time you had to update your credentials, you had to go to these dialog box to reenter your credentials. Now, you can directly save your credentials when you clone a repository.

Select Save Credentials to save your user name and password
Dreamweaver allows you to search for files in the Git panel. As a user, when you have large number of files in your repository, you can search for files using the filename.
When you type the filename in the Search box, all the files that contain the search phrase are displayed instantly. You can also see the status of these files in the search result, helping you track your staged, modified, and untracked files.
Search for files in the Git panel
When you merge branches in Git, and if there is a conflict, a Merge Conflict indicator is now displayed in the Git panel. An exclamatory icon next to a file indicates that the file has a conflict.

Introduction to Dreamweaver
Note: This article assumes that you have a beginner to intermediate level of understanding of the web domain, and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
1The first stage in web development is the planning phase in which you analyze the audience needs, technical, and marketing requirements. You also gather necessary information required for designing and publishing your website and have answers for questions like some of these:
•Which service provider do I choose for hosting the website? Do I have access to upload files to the publishing server?
•What domain name is to be used for the website?
•In case you are migrating existing websites into Dreamweaver, where are the files and assets stored currently? Do I have access to the server where this information is stored?
•If you want a dynamic website, which server can I use to test if data is being displayed dynamically? Do I have the details of the web application server that I want to use for loading dynamic data?
•What kind of assets are required for the website?
•Will these be assets designed from scratch? If the assets are already available, do I have access to them?
•What apps do I want to use for designing assets?
•Do I plan to create a responsive website?
Assuming that you have a clear understanding of the website you want to develop and how and where you want to host it, and have chosen Dreamweaver and Creative Cloud for the web development process, proceed to the next step.
2Check if you have all the assets required for your website. Gather and organize them together in your local folders or in Adobe's Creative Cloud Libraries.
3Create a new document in Dreamweaver using:
•A new blank document,
•Starter templates packaged with Dreamweaver, or
•Template files (*.dwt) created by someone else
Note: If you are not familiar with Dreamweaver or just learning web development, starter templates are a great help in getting you up and running with designing web pages. Even if you are planning to start from scratch, it is a good idea to peek a little into these pages to understand the elements of a good web page design.
4Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Dreamweaver workspace. Find a workspace you are comfortable with, and set a color theme. Reorganize the different panels in a way that suits you.
5Set up your site in Dreamweaver. Set about creating a folder structure with files and assets. After you’ve organized your information and determined a structure, you can begin creating your site. (See About Dreamweaver sites
.)About Dreamweaver sites
At this stage, it is a good idea to also set up connections to remote servers, and set up testing servers (if you have dynamic content).
6Start coding your web pages in Code view, or designing them in Design / Live view.
If you plan to use Photoshop comps, you can extract them into Dreamweaver and work on them too. For more information on working with Photoshop comps, see Extract in Dreamweaver CC.
Add design elements such as text, images, rollover images, image maps, colors, movies, sound, HTML links, tables, and more.

7Style the appearance of your web page using CSS. Using CSS preprocessors in Dreamweaver Coding environment in Dreamweaver
You can work with CSS in different ways in Dreamweaver:
•You can hand code the CSS. For information on Dreamweaver's coding features that help you hand code your CSS, see Coding environment in Dreamweaver.
•If you are not very familiar with creating CSS pages, you can use the CSS Designer panel to help build your CSS. For more information, see Laying out pages using CSS Designer.
•If you prefer to work with Sass and Less files, Dreamweaver supports that option as well, allowing you to bring in Sass and Less files into your Dreamweaver site, and work with them. Dreamweaver then autocompiles them (or you can choose to manually compile them) and see the results of your CSS changes in real time. For information on using Sass and Less files with Dreamweaver, see Using CSS preprocessors in Dreamweaver .
8Set up a web application for creating dynamic content.
Many websites contain dynamic pages that allow visitors to view information stored in databases, and usually allow some visitors to add new information and edit information in the databases. To create such pages, you must first set up a web server and application server, create or modify a Dreamweaver site, and connect to a database. For more information, see Dynamic sites, pages and web forms .
9Create dynamic pages.
In Dreamweaver, you can define a variety of sources of dynamic content, including recordsets extracted from databases, form parameters, and JavaBeans components. To add the dynamic content to a page, simply drag it on to the page.
You can set your page to display one record or many records at a time, display more than one page of records, add special links to move from one page of records to the next (and back), and create record counters to help users keep track of the records. For more information, see Dynamic sites, pages and web forms .
10 Test, preview, and publish your website.
As you create pages, you need to preview them to see that your website is progressing according to the design. You can code in Split view keeping your Code and Live views side-by-side.
You can also preview web pages in real time on a device (if you are creating responsive web pages), or on a browser.
If you don't need a live preview experience, you can use the regular preview in browser experience.
If you have already defined connections to remote servers, then to publish your website, you need to put your files in the remote server to make them live.

Basics
•What is Dreamweaver CC and who is it for?
Adobe Dreamweaver CC is the world’s most complete tool for web designers and front-end developers. It combines a powerful design surface and best-in-class code editor with robust site management tools, for you to easily design, code, and manage websites.
Dreamweaver CC 2017 has been redesigned with a modern interface and fast, flexible coding engine to give web designers and front-end developers easier ways to create, code and manage websites that look amazing on any size screen. This release of Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017 includes an all-new code engine, completely refreshed user interface with selectable dark and light themes, support for modern web workflows such as CSS Preprocessors, and lots more.
First-class integration with Bootstrap lets you build responsive websites that adapt and scale to any browser, regardless of the size, screen resolution, or orientation. Deep integration with Adobe CreativeSync makes it easy to work with design assets from tools like Photoshop and Illustrator, along with the ability to browse and access stock photos from Adobe Stock.

•Dreamweaver supports common CSS pre-processors like SASS, Less, and SCSS, with full code coloring, and compilation, so you can save time and produce cleaner code.
•Write more than one line of code at a time to quickly do things like create a bulleted list, update a series of strings, and make multiple edits simultaneously.
•Quick Edit offers an inline editor for the relevant CSS within an HTML file, so you can make changes fast.
•Quick Docs saves you time by displaying relevant Web Platform Docs reference information for CSS properties directly within Code View.
•Load and open files quickly and get through projects faster with a new performance-boosted and clutter-free workspace designed for developers.
•Preview your page edits in real time as you code without having to manually refresh your browser.
