I was wondering if there was a way in Photoshop (I'm using CC 2014) to create a print display ad and then create different sizes with the same information and if I change the info in one (maybe the original), the info in all of the others will update.
Thanks in advance.

To my knowledge, there is no way of changing information between different files on photoshop - Indesign this is possible to a degree.
If you only have access to photoshop you could perhaps create an action, but you're limited as to what you can do and it's very hit and miss.
Failing that, unfortunately (at least to my knowledge) you're stuck manually doing it.

Thanks for the reply, charlesd8830180. I'm probably going to do it in InDesign.

You can absolutely do this...
Use Artboards if you want to create multiple documents and/or multiple sizes in one file.
Choose one of the following options to update info.

Thanks jmeredith. I'm trying to figure out if it's even worth having linked items in the ads because there are so many different configurations, so I'd probably just use the linking for the text, whihc means it might be better to create them in InDesign.

If you go the InDesign route, this new feature may be helpful.
“ MANAGE TEXT IN CC LIBRARIES
Libraries in InDesign now support text, so you can store and access the passages you use most — like taglines, brand marketing descriptions, and other boilerplate copy. Plus, share text between InDesign and Illustrator libraries.”

I really don't deserve the points, so if you can please remove and give to jmeredith
