So when there is a change, how many places do I need to go to? One or all the places I copied the steps into.
I am looking for a solution of "write once, use many times" meaning when it changes, I only go to one place to make the change.
Do you need this option for a Test Step or for a Test?
A Test Step won't be updated automatically if it changes somewhere. You will need to edit it manually.
But, if you update a Test you'll see an updated version of this Test in every Test Set which has this Test.

Test Step.
Said another way...I want to write a set of test steps that are common in several to many tests and write them just once in a common test so changes can done be in one place so I don't have to open up each and every test and update each instance.
So I am asking if there is a way to link so I can create once from common steps in one test to another test (can be used in many tests)...trying to also avoid having to set up what I want to do in a test set....because if common steps are in one test, in a test set I think I would have to specify that common test to run before each tests (could be many)....that's effort too.
If I could have a link to do this, I create that relationship once with each test. Does this functionality exist?

Unfortunately, currently, you cannot do this. But, we have a feature request to enhance the Fast Edit option for Test Steps. With this option you'll be able to update multiple Test Steps at once.

Approximately when will the Fast Edit be put in? Our buying decision is weighing on this.
