> (For what it worth… V4 and probably V3 as well) I have noticed that after modifying a master page and updating ALL related project files, changes don’t take effect - I have to explicitly SAVE ALL FILES (even if they are not loaded into the editor) - notifications to that effect then show up on screen. Caveats: an error message appears during the aforementioned update advising about update error in modifying 3 files - perhaps files’ save is only made if the operation as a whole is completed succ…

He notes that even though, master page is saved, new files created, then UPDATING master page isn’t enough.  
he STILL has to save all the sibling pages for the changes to take effect.

This is the exact same scenario described in this post, in that Error Replication Process,  
the Separate, individual pages are NOT saved , only _update components_ is Used.

it seems to be that the _SAVE ALL_ is being ommited from the process.

Probably because it is _EXPECTED_ that _update components_ would achieve this.  
but, It doesn’t.

and probably shouldnt.  
or, should it?

🙂

I’ve followed the video as best I could, but the resolution makes it impossible for me to read correctly.  
maybe this is/should be added to the docs then? if it isn’t already , wrt Master page useage?
