That's not exactly what I meant - I realise updating documents in-situ would be virtually impossible.
What I meant is an application palette where any document referencing that palette would be updated on the fly when it's opened (as if you had just updated the palette with the document open).

+1. I'm struggling with this too. Having to constantly flick between personas to check the relationship between illustrations and slice boundaries is a painful workflow. Really easy for someone to make a mistake too.

+1 for arrowheads. I've never encountered illustrative software that doesn't support them – it's essential for people in a wide variety of fields, e.g. architecture, engineering, science, maths etc. I'd use AD for everything, but the lack of arrowheads and a poor implementation of dashed lines forces me elsewhere all the time. It's a shame, because AD otherwise has great tools and sensible workflow.
 
And please don't repeat the mistake you've made with dashes. We need to make collections of both dashes and arrows that can be independently applied to different sets of paths. Styles in AD grab everything – line weight, colours, fills etc. I frequently need to change just one thing in a selection, e.g. the dash or the arrowhead, but I don't want all the other properties to change too. And trying to replicate the same dash/arrow manually over and over is a really bad workflow.
 
Please allow the user to capture and reuse a dash or arrowhead independent of other style characteristics.
