# Updating and Linking text styles
How to link styles
Creating a new style
Updating Styles
Linking styles is an easy way to simplify updating text styles in the same story. Once several styles are linked, if changes are made to the parent text or textbox, all relative styles will inherit the same changes.
To link an element, first you have to select the right style. Select a text or textbox and expand the style options at the top of the right side panel. To start, you can choose from the preset styles in your story (Body, H1 or H2, etc):
If you don't want to use a default style, you can create a new style. Select the text or textbox, click on style options and select " Save as a custom style ".
Once the style is created, go to the element you want to link, and select the style just created. After multiple elements are linked, updates will apply to all linked elements instantly:
Via Contextual Panel
The most efficient way to update styles is via the contextual panel. Make the required changes to the text, and select update style on the right side contextual panel.
Via Style Settings
Click on the settings wheel on the top right corner of the page to make the desired changes to your font styles:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.maker.co/maker-pages/advanced-features/updating-and-linking-text-styles.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
