Dynamic Page Update in Visio

I have several Visio documents, each with 4 to 5 pages. One of these pages is a template which is the same in all the different Visio documents. The problem is that when I update this template, I have to then go to each individual Visio document to update the 1 page for the template.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make one page of a Visio dynamic so that it references a page on a 2nd Visio? That way when then 2nd Visio is updated, it will update for all other Visios. Using Visio Pro. Thank you in advance for any help.

    @Patrick Garofalo

    In my opinion, the pages created from template do not have internal links with the template, we need to update each page manually.
    But if you use master shapes and when you them in stencil, all instances of these master shapes could be updated.

    To better help you, I suggest you post a new thread on forums mentioned on following link to check whether the code could help you.

    Thanks for your understanding.
