This has been around for quite a while, and I'm sure I'm just overlooking a setting somewhere...
There are times where we create sheets, then add them to a PSET in Print organizer - and then (later) we need to move the sheet border/boundary. AT this point, out PSET will not recognize the changed sheet boundary, and will print whatever is visible on the old sheet boundary instead. The only way we have found to "update" our PSET to use the new sheet boundary location is to delete the sheet from the PSET (save the PSET) and add it back in. When added back in, it automatically defaults to the bottom of the list, and needs to be moved up to its place in the proper order of things.
As you can imagine, this process is rife with the opportunity for user error. People forget that the sheet boundary was moved and they don't update the PSET. They delete the sheet from the PSET and forget to put it back in. They don't get the re-added sheet into the proper order.
All because Print Organizer does not seem to be able to read a file and "see" that the sheet boundary has been moved.
Is it really this difficult, or are we missing a setting that could do away with this hassle? Is there a better workaround?(Is Connect better about this than V8i)

You can create folders within PO to separate you print definitions. I do this for our plan set so when you need to delete one plan sheet I just go in and delete that sheet. Then make sure I have the plan sheet folder selected and add the new sheet to that folder. You still need to move it up in the list, but it is a much shorter list than the entire project.
