We have plenty of space. How about "Update style when changing attributes"? Seth, what do you think? First attempt: [] Automatic style update from document Tooltip: Paragraph formatting changes to any paragraph with this style are applied automatically to update this style. To "help page" [1] add this tip under this option: If this option is not enabled, then use *Styles – Update Selected Style* to add any formatting changes to the paragraph style. [1] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.5/en-US/text/shared/01/05040100.html Comment: Have used "update" and "style" in label and tool tip -- to keep some connection to the menu command "Styles - Update Selected Style" (also in Sidebar). Comment to Peter: (enjoyable OP) -- maybe you can see now that this Autoupdate "option" is "opposite" of "Update Selected Style". It gives you a way to see the effects of formatting changes automatically to all paragraphs in the style. I agree that the label should be changed -- because it misleads -- gives the impression that any changes in the Style dialog will not be automatically updated for all paragraphs with that style. ("Autoupdate" also appears in "Frame Style") The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting but did not receive further comments. So let's do it as suggested. Code pointer: sfx2/uiconfig/ui/managestylepage.ui (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > So let's do it as suggested. => NEW Second draft proposal: Label in organizer: [ ] Modify style with paragraph formatting in document Tooltip: Any paragraph formatting changes in the document to a paragraph with this style are applied automatically to modify the paragraph style. Tip in help: If this option is not enabled, then use *Styles – Update Selected Style* to modify the paragraph style of the current paragraph with any direct paragraph formatting changes made to that paragraph. (also, the position of the labels in the Organizer tab do not follow the design guidelines.) (In reply to sdc.blanco from comment #2) > [ ] Automatic style update from document (In reply to sdc.blanco from comment #5) > [ ] Modify style with paragraph formatting in document I'd prefer the first one (maybe without "style") while the second tooltip is a bit more clear.
