For existing publication, the fields (once edited) can be updated at the click of a
button.

• Click the Update button to automatically update any altered field
currently placed in your publication. This field will remain linked to
User Details until it is deleted.
Inserting variables
If you have some repeating text used throughout your publication which you'd
like to swap for replacement text, you can use variables. Typically, you would
do this to change a product name or version, making your publication easy to
update when product versions change. The variable fields change automatically,
updating with the new values.
