"Put" files question

In older versions of Dreamweaver, if I added photos to a page I simply uploaded the html page and the jpg's that I had just added uploaded with it. This doesn't seem to happen in DW2020. I've looked through Preferences but can't find anything to enable this. I think the term "dependent files" used to come up on old versions. Surely you can still do this.

    Clicking Preferences > Site will show

     

     

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

    Did you define a local site before you started changing assets?

     

    Go to Edit > Preferences > Site > Dependant Files. 

    Tick both boxes: Prompt on GET, Prompt on PUT.

    In my "edit" dropdown there are no "preferences"

    In Dreamweaver>Preferences there is a tab for "site" but it doesn't contain any of the options that you mention.

    You must be on a Mac.    See Preferences screenshot.

    Put a checkmark in BOTH boxes -- Prompt on GET, Prompt on PUT.
