We received an update to a Web Object in a .story. There is no update.
The path to perform an update to a Web Object which has been carefully sized and positioned, is DELETE the web object and create a new one. Repeating the careful sizing and positioning.
Haha. Yes. I feel your pain. The cycle for updating web objects is a little painful. I use them all of the time to carry on files. Would be amazing just to right click the Web Object, point to the new folder and have that ingested right over the top of the old one.
I agree. I think I picked up this tip here somewhere, but what I end up doing is pointing the web object to a new (dummy) folder and then back to my original folder. This preserves all of my size settings while giving me the "refresh" feature. Still tedious when it should not have to be.

Those are great tricks. Been working with Web Objects since they added the feature and have been doing it the hard way:)
