Update all dirived functions in a document

Hi,
I started using a document with reference sketches to be able to devide a large documunent into several smaller ones
I derive these sketches into the Part Studios that need them
I will end up with a lot of Part Studios using sketches with the same origin, and it allready takes a long time going through every Part Studio to update them before I've even completely implemented this method.
My 1st Idea was to derive the sketches into a New part studio and then derive the sketches from there, this way I'd only need to update the derived functions in one Part Studio
But I discovered you can't derive an already derived Sketch (i thought I could because it's possible with parts).
I trided looking for a solution on the net with no luck
Does anyone have an idea of what I can do ?
My work being confidential, here is a simplified version of my problem
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/de512b6ad285f2a80211d257/w/4ff7ba3567b146b85970d44f/e/ed3f7e10de6ad2736d3d6a4a
There Less parts, and it isn't really any problem to go through every Part Studio in this example
But is there a way to update the derived functions of every part studio without going through them all and potentially forgetting 1 ?
While making the example, I noticed the symbol at the bottom, so if I put them next to each other I might not forget to update any Part Studio
But i'd still like to see a 1-click solution for e.g. when I select an older version

Super Derive defenetly seems useful and I'll probably use it now that I know of it, especially with it's abillity to derive variables (somthing I have wanted to do, but hadn't asked on the forum...)
However, it wasn't able to make derived sketches derivable
Using Zero offset surface, (or even "Fill") seems to be a solution I can use, I just hope it's not too much heavier to compute than derived sketches, but it's worth a shot.
Thank you for your advice
