I have finally come to understand the new distinction between copying a module and referencing a module when adding a new module to a page.  When referencing a module, where if the content changes on the original module it is also reflected on the new module, I have noticed that the reference does not apply to the module title.  I'm not sure why this is, a bug or a specific intent but every time I have wanted to reference a module, the title stays the same.  I'm sure examples exist where this is not the case, but it seems to me that most of the time if the content is replicated the original title is also replicated.  Is this a bug, or is there a setting/option when creating a new module by reference that will retain the title?  I've already noticed one such referenced module where the original title was updated and the subsequent references are still using the older title, so they must all be updated manually.

with multiple references for a module, each reference has its own title by design, allowing you to provide different titles for the same content - but requiring to update title on all references as well when changing it. If you have an HTML module with frequently changing titles, I suggest using a container without a title and include the title on top of the content instead.

Hi Sebastian,

Do I check the box or uncheck the box "Copy Module(with content)" to reference an HTML module? I want all content updated when I change the original instance.

THanks in advance.
