Abstract

A method and apparatus for synchronizing selected attributes of a target page element on a target display layout with modified attributes of a source page element on a source display layout is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a command to synchronize a target display layout, wherein the target display layout comprises at least one target page element linked to a source page element on a source display layout; accessing a plurality of synchronization preferences, wherein the synchronization preferences define at least one selected attribute of a plurality of attributes of a target page element to be synchronized with an attribute of the linked source page element; determining whether the selected attribute of the source page element has been synchronized with the target page element; and updating the target page element when the modified attribute of the source page element has not been synchronized with the target page element.
