[libreoffice-users] How to transfer styles among documents created from the same template?

I have custom document template, and from this template a handful
software manuals were authored. Styles were used extensively. Now it's
time to modernize the look of the manuals, but we don't want to repeat
the style changes in all manuals. (That's what styles are for, aren't they?)

With MS Word (2000), the .doc files recorded the template. Styles can be
marked so that when they were changed while editing one of the .doc
files, that style changes were propagated to the template. Later, when
one of the other .doc files was opened, it copied all styles from the
template (automatically), which effectivly updates the other file as well.

What is the workflow with LibreOffice to propagate style changes between
.doc files created from the same template? I looked at the documentation
and help pages around the template manager, but found only means to copy
styles manually. Is there something that works more automated?
