Change colour swatch value in CC Library

I have saved colour swatches into my CC library, and I will be using the colours in various documents.

However, I have not yet confirmed the colour, and if I would at a later stage change the colour value of that swatch, can I change it in the CC library and automatically have it change throughout the documents?

Looks like to me it's not going to work. Anyway to get round this?

There is no way for CC libraries to link colors. Don't add colors to the library until they are final.

I've added a swatch (that is final) but the RGB / Hex / CMYK isn't consistent with colour guide info.

In RGB space it is fine, along with the hex. But teh CMYK is out. If I amend the CMYK I change the HEX and RGB. Why is this happening?

By color guide info do you mean the values listed for a theme at color.adobe.com?

The values listed there are not color managed because there’s no color management for web based HTML code, and the listed values are not very useful or accurate.

The best you can do when selecting color at Adobe Color is set the Color Mode to Lab, and make color managed conversions to CMYK, or RGB inside of InDesign or Photoshop in order to get the correct values. You could also set the Color Mode to RGB and assign sRGB to your documents to get a color managed conversion to CMYK or the sRGB hex value
