First attempt:

[] Automatic style update from document

Tooltip: Paragraph formatting changes to any paragraph with this style are
applied automatically to update this style.

To "help page" [1] add this tip under this option: 

If this option is not enabled, then use *Styles – Update Selected Style* to add
any formatting changes to the paragraph style.

Comment:  Have used "update" and "style" in label and tool tip -- to keep some
connection to the menu command "Styles - Update Selected Style" (also in
Sidebar).

Comment to Peter: (enjoyable OP) -- maybe you can see now that this Autoupdate
"option" is "opposite" of "Update Selected Style".  It gives you a way to see
the effects of formatting changes automatically to all paragraphs in the style. 

I agree that the label should be changed -- because it misleads -- gives the
impression that any changes in the Style dialog will not be automatically
updated for all paragraphs with that style. 

("Autoupdate" also appears in "Frame Style")
