If you import a new pattern or style that has the same name as a pattern or style that is already listed on the Linear Patterns dialog box, the new information immediately overwrites the older pattern or style.

As soon as you import linear patterns or styles, the new information is immediately written into the project styles file. There is no option to save the changes later.
