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?

      Sorry - by digital I mean web graphics / YouTube overlays etc.


      For web display you want the conversion to be directly from the Pantone+ Solid Lab color, and not the Pantone+ Bridge CMYK color. The Bridge colors will change in appearance depending on your document’s assigned CMYK profile and the conversion to sRGB could be anything.

       

      The conversion of Pantone 293 to sRGB for web should be something like this (my RGB Working Space is sRGB)
