How do I update the data on my previous page when I return to it?

I am using React Navigation in my app. How do I update the reducer on my previous page when returning to it?
Practical example: Currently in page A I will navigate to page B where I update the data in my reducer which is rendered in page A . After I navigate () to page A after changing the data in the reducer, I want page A to now overwrite and contain the new data from the reducer. The data is updated when I go from the main page to page A . ShouldComponentUpdate() does not see the update at all, and the value of nextProps, nextState was still not updated?

1. in the attachment root:
const doUpdateA = ()=> {
this.setState({updateA: +new Date()})
}
and props doUpdateA and this.state.updateA down the navigation stack
2. to B before jumping back call doUpdateA
3. in A:
static getDerivedStateFromProps(nextProps, currentState) {
if (nextProps.updateA !== currentState.updateA ) {
return {updateA : nextProps.updateA}
componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) {
if (this.state.updateA !== prevState.updateA) {
// do update A stuff
}
Something like this.
