If you make a master that only A and B are based on then make changes in the master not the 2 child pages (A and B) then the change would appear in both. You can convert an existing page to a master in the “page” menu.
No, not directly. What you might do is go into Page B, select any element on the page, then press the up arrow and down arrow once each so you “jiggle” that element and thus “dirty” the page (which is what the bullet signifies). Dirty pages get replaced on the next publish+upload.

Hi,
Does anyone know is this is even possible…
say you have two pages (A and B). When I make a change to A, a little dot appears next to it in the site panel.
Is there a way that when I make any change to page A, a little dot appears in the site panel next to page A and page B???
I need this to have the last modified date and time appear on both pages even though I only made a change to page A.
Thanks for the 1st response. I am not looking for the actual change from A to appear on B. Rather just if a change is made on A Freeway sees it as a change to B as well.
I guess I could always just move an empty graphic box on A and that could move on both pages once I do what you said.
Yea Walt, i figured that… was trying to avoid having to even go to the “B” page and move anything up and back but I guess that is not too bad.
Simon, I cannot really do what you mentioned now that I think about it, because the upper part of both A and B is a heading area which are built off of a MASTER 1.
I guess Walt’s is the easiest.
I guess freeway has no way of connecting 1 item from 1 page with 1 from another page another unless they are master page related.
I’ll just put an empty graphic box on page B, and then move that once to the right.
(Then I will not have to move it back and will thus save 1 step) hehehe
It’s just that Freeway only dirties pages that have actually changed from one publish to the next. You could automate this on your server with PHP, but that’s going to be fairly fiddly.

the situation is the kids have a “RULES” page that they put their name in and then that directs them to see the HW page. The purpose of the rules page is to agree to some terms but really so that I know every time the HW page is visited (by them typing in their name), I know they can bypass it but they prob won’t.
Anyway, once they type in their name, they see the HW page and something that says “LAst change made Date and time” (I used the Last MOdified pro action) so I do not have to type the new date and time in each time.
Kids reported that it would be easier if they knew the lAST DAY And time change BEFORE they went into the HW page, thus the need to put this action on the RULES page (which I do not make any changes to)
It’s still confusing to me, but I really have no deep interest so I suppose
it’s okay.
If you want to republish that page when you update the site, why not just
select the page from the Site inspector and choose menu Page > Force
Republish? Would that not be easier than nudging around empty bits?

Stage 1 - apply Create SIP to an Html item that contains your Last Mod Pro action. Give the item a recognisable but unique name in the Action palette and do NOT check the Remove item box.
Stage 2 - on the page that you want to show the updated info draw an instance of the Use Simple Include Pro action - making sure that it is large enough to contain it all. Fill in the box in the action palette with the unique name from Stage 1. Use the Remote setting in the action.
Last stage - give the page with the Use Simple Include Pro action on it the page suffix of .shtml
I am running from an external that I have managed to salvage most of my contents to but it was a real PITA.
Can I just suggest to anyone using a Time Machine backup that you make sure that you upgrade the size of your TM if you upgrade the size of your HD - it will make recovery so much easier.
I made the mistake of being selective about what I backed up to keep the size of the backups down. I wont do that again.
