updating website using VSD on two...
I had identical copies of a website on two different computers. Using Visual Site Designer, I recently made some changes to the website on Computer #1. Then, I used VSD on Computer #2 and made some additional changes (to different pages than the updates #1).
Now, I need to make some changes to all the recent pages and I'm afraid of messing up what's there because the content is somewhat different on each computer.
1)Is there a way to copy some individual pages from #1 to #2 or vice versa?
2) Is there a way to keep the VSD folder synchronized between the two computers?
Thanks so much for any insight.

Copy the ones you want to the pc your going to publish with. Place them in the mywebsitename_website folder. As long as the pages have the same name VSD will upload the page overwriting the old content.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Barring all that, I would highly suggest you use a Flash Drive to keep your computers synchronized if you're using multiple computers for editing. You cannot edit things on one and then on the other without first having the exact same files on the computer that you edited on the other one. You need to save the files and copy them to the other computer "before" editing anything else.
If you edit things on one computer and upload, then edit things on the other computer (without updating the contents to the files of the first computer) you will overwrite the work you did on the other computer when you upload it.
Each time you edit things on a computer, copy the files to a flash drive. Update the other computer with those files when you work on that one. Each time you update save it to the flash drive and use that as your way to synchronize them so they are always up to date with each others changes before you change anything else.
Hopefully that makes sense, confuses me just typing it LOL.

thanks, Eric, that makes sense. I will give it a try. Thanks, JoAnn - typically, that's how I work, and can't wait to get back to that system (on the Cloud; don't do flash drives anymore). I just messed up, somehow, this last time.
I appreciate your time.

I bought a new computer... And transferred all my websites' data to my new computer. When I published my updates/corrections from my new computer... Some of the content on the pages are not loading. Many of the items on the pages are clear boxes with question marks in the middle... Please help.

Did you try doing a re-sync?
