You can only update the Web pages of a CVS-authored group if you are member of that group and are logged into the server.

Assuming you are, go to the group's home page and press the "CVS Update" link at the bottom right of the page.

Also, make sure that the group admin has selected "Home Page" in the Admin->Config page so that the website knows that you want to use a home page other than the initial default home page.

Note: If you have made an error in your CVS web pages such that the home page of your group no longer shows (you accidentally checked in a page with frames, or you removed the standard footer, for example), you can update the page "manually" as follows:

Add the string "?Action=cvsupdate" to the URL of your home page and press Enter. For example, to update the home page of group foo, enter the following in the Location box of your browser:
