would be really sweet if it was possible save tons of work and fookin about.
sort of linking in page templates similar to inDesign... maybe there is a plugin or an upgrade in the post.

I don't know if they changed it for cs4, but cs3 the smart object does not span multiple psds reliably

that is what ive done so far. Only updates the psb in the psd i edited it from. Doesnt reflect over multiple psds. Seems like the psb gets copied into a new instance when i drag it into a separate psd : /
- this is in essence the same as "copy to create new smart object"version3

if you make one psd,
say make the header, convert to smart object, then drag that into another psd.. then say edit the source it should have a knock on effect?needs a bit of reasearch though..

Ive been trying to research this on and off for a while but i keep comming up with crap tutorials for layer comps.
What i want to do is compose a smart object of constants in a web site psd comp. Like the header for example, or banner fpo:s etc. Then drag this smart object into multiple psds reflecting multiple states of the website. And when i update the PSB smart object in one of them. It should reflect onto multiple open psds.
Is this doable at all or can i just reflect psb changes to a smart object used multiple times inside ONE psd?
