Are the changes made to a custom template applied to all pages created before the latest change?

For example, i use a custom template to create several pages and then decided to add changes to the same template. Are the changes made to the template applied to all the pages created before the change.

Hi @Faisal Mohammed welcome to the community.  No pages created before the template change will not be updated when the template is modified.

Hi Craig,

Thank you for the information. Are there any market place add-ons that would have this functionality?

Hi @Faisal Mohammed I don't think so.  The point is this.  Templates drive the creation of the pages based on their format.  They do not drive edits to that page so they do not keep a record of the pages that were created.  For a plugin like this to work the template would have to keep a record of each page created id.  That would be cool but I'm pretty sure no one has designed something like this yet.
