    If the report object is modified to include more data for example you use this to update your existing layout to know about the schema change.

    Can you please elaborate more and what you mean by schema change?

    When you customise layouts it sends a data schema (definition of the data) into the chosen editor - word or RDLC - if you add a field to the data set but have already started a custom layout it will be based on the old schema. Update button therefore gives you the latest data references in the object to work with.
