What are two ways to globally update a style?

• A. Edit the style itself and make changes in the formatting options, or use local formatting and then redefine the style based on that instance
• B. Create a new style from scratch and apply to all objects
• C. Delete the style and recreate with changes
• D. Apply a different color scheme to text

Answer: (A)

Formatting tied to a named style is centralized, so updating that style definition changes all text that uses it. The first way is to edit the style itself in the Styles panel, tweaking the formatting options (font, size, color, alignment, etc.). Once you save those changes, every instance of text assigned to that style updates automatically across the document. The second way is to apply some local formatting to text and then redefine the style to match that current formatting. By redefining, you essentially capture the appearance of the selected text into the style, so future edits to the style will apply to all text using it. This is especially handy when you’ve made adjustments on a few bits of text and want the style to reflect those changes globally.
