Changes cascading through site

Hello -

I've set up menu and saved it as a preset. I am able to insert the menu onto new pages without issues. However, when I change content (via the page Properties Box - Edit Content), save it and upload the page it works fine, but the changes don't cascade through the site. To make menu changes I've been going through the process on every page in the site. A bit tedious.

I'm assuming I've missed a step or have it configured incorrectly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards - MH

When you make changes on a menu, it will not automatically apply the changes to all your pages unless you use a template to style your pages. You will also have to set it to propagate the changes and edit the menu on the template.

Add the menu to a Dreamweaver Template. Then Create each page in your site from the template. Using a template allows you to make changes to one location and propagate to all pages based on the template.

See the following for more information on using Dreamweaver Templates:
