How to use a 'Master node' in 4b3 for user data

OK, I'm intrigued by what Thomas says about having "A "master node" for tour settings like default user data"
http://gardengnomesoftware.com/forum/vi ... 556#p30011

This sounds great as just today I've been struggling with an issue in beta2 where I had to manually copy/paste or input user data, even when the template has been set up with generic data I hoped would carry across. Very frustrating, and I guess this is what http://gardengnomesoftware.com/bt/view.php?id=566 refers to.

Just had a quick play with beta3 and I've not discovered anything new… perhaps as I was opening a file created in b2? The feature's not covered in Karin's new screencast tutorial, so it's tantalisingly useful, but if you can give me a few pointers I'll be grateful. Thanks in advance, and great to see the new beta, guys… well done! :)

Just go to:

Tour -> Edit Masternode

Enter all your "overall data", and thats it, all that data apply immediately in ALL nodes
