Am I correct in saying that when you create a page say Help and right click on this page and select Copy. You get the option of where you want to paste the copied version of the page and the option to select the check box "Relate copied items to original query". I was of the understanding that by checking this page, any updated to the original Help page would be reflected in the copied version.
This is beating me at the moment as I have a live site using V3 which has this working for a page at the moment but after trying to create a new page and creating a copy have found that the copy is not being updated after the original has been edited.
Seems as if the same is happening as well for my V4 installation as well in that ticking this check box is not making any difference.
Checking the "Relate copied items to original" will add a relationship from the original node to the copied node. So this are two separate nodes and not one node at two locations.
With the relationship you can get on an easy way from the copied node to the original one and also in the other direction.
For the functionality you want you can for example create an actionhandler which also updates the related node via this relations
If you want to know how relations work,. I also suggest you checkout the sourcecode used in this blogpost which shows you how to create multilingual pages using relations.
Relate copied items to original query

Has anybody else experienced this problem.
