I am working on a web UI design and using adobe-photoshop. I have to make complete UI to show what exactly a screen would look after different interactions.

Say, the following is the basic layout of the design, with four sections A, B, C and D.


Now I have some 10 interactions and so 10 different files in which I'm showing that how section C varies on different interactions. So, I make the 10 designs and save them. Then later I realize that a change is required Section A. So I have to do the same change 10 times in all of those files.

So, question is, is there a way, where I edit part(few layers) of a file once and it gets 'synced' across multiple PSD files?

PS: I tried using Smart-Objects and saving sections as different PSDs and importing them, but nothing helped.

There are external plugins that are able to do the thing, one such plugin is canlinkit.

The other option that I found was using layer-comps. It can be referred here.

No. Photoshop does not contain any "publish <> subscribe" options, which is what you are describing is known as.
