Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 v.14.xx - Manual (Page 11)

New in Photoshop CC | January 2014
You can now create linked smart objects whose contents are referenced from external image files. The contents of a linked smart object are
updated when its source image file changes. With linked smart objects, you can use a shared source file across multiple Photoshop
documents. Linked smart objects are particularly useful for teams or in cases where assets must be reused across designs.
Linked smart objects are displayed in the Layers panel with a link icon ( ).
