Modify a shape master and update all the shapes on the visio pages

[Luca.ippo]

Hi,
my problem is the following:
1) I create a new shape master
2) I use it many times in a one or more visio pages
3) then when I make a modification on the shape master I would automatically
update all the shapes on the visio pages I used before; is that possibile?
how?
Please, help me!

Not directly no, however, I have a utility that can help you with
this:

Use the shape substitute feature with the new master.

Very good, thank you.

Is it possibile to install that utility without having administration
privileges on a PC? In my work PC I don't have such priviliges....

Not sure, all I can suggest is try it and see. It will depend on what privileges you have.
