    I’m creating a bunch of docs that will need to look the same from one doc to the next. It’s likely that there will be some style changes that will come up in the future as we live with these docs.

    Is it possible to create a set of styles that can be shared among multiple documents (like a CSS file is shared across multiple webpages for example) so that any style change to the master would be passed to all the other docs?

    While ID doesn’t have external styles, you can use the book panel to do this: https://creativepro.com/synchronize-multiple-indesign-documents.php

    I do what David suggested all the time. It works great. Just make sure to turn off “Automatically Update Page & Section Numbers.”
