Global Updates
I have previously used Front Page and Expressions 4 to create my websites.
They both had “Dynamic Web Templates” to make Website-Wide updates to
the HTML.
Dreamweaver calls it a “Dreamweaver Web Templates”.
The pages are setup with editable and non-editable areas site-wide
so you can make site-wide changes.
How do you do that with PhpStorm/WebStorm? Does it do that? Is there a video
that shows you how to do this?
Any help of direction would very much be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi there,
There is no such stuff in PhpStorm/WebStorm -- https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-436

P.S.
Nowadays, when each technology/language (especially web oriented) has some sort of template engine (PHP itself is a templating language; + libraries like Smarty/Twig/Blade (the most popular); JavaScript has few libraries as well) it's pretty unlikely that such functionality will appear as a core module in *Storm product (unless someone will write such custom plugin).
Even if you use pure static HTML you could use custom module/plugin for Gulp/Grunt that can do such templating.
Andriy,
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this answer.
I have been searching and sending support emails with no success.
I really appreciate the many features of this software but its not a practical solution without global updating.
I am sure they have a legitimate reason. Neglecting such a major necessary "management" feature just
does not correlate with the JetBrains feature rich development culture.
Thanks again! Bill.
