In below video we have discussed and demoed how to use shared variables in Dynamics 365 Plugins explaining step by step process and things to check while using it.

If you are looking to use the shared variables between plugins, that are not in the same execution pipeline, the context will NOT contain the shared variables. So in your case, if you Add shared variables on Create plugin and want to use it in Update plugin, shared variables will not be available since they are not in the same event pipeline.

Typically we use Shared variables in different execution stage on the same event. Like pre-event and post-event of create of record.
