Material design 3 Figma kit - I want to keep updating

Hello! I would like to know what are the best practices to be able to keep updating the Material Design 3 kit when new versions come out.

The questions I haven’t been able to answer are; what if I need two different colors of the outlined button, can I add a variant to the component and still be able to update the kit? What exactly can I change on a component, only color values? can I create a new style and apply it to the button or I have to keep using the same style name and only change the color values, that will be tricky because if the style is used on other components I won’t be able to change it I would need a new style or another style from the kit but if I swap the style can I still updating?

Another topic is how do I update the kit when a new version comes out, I got a copy of the file and changed the name my plan is to make the changes I need and then publish the library to use the component on other files, is that plan a good plan?

If someone can help me or point me to the documentation where I can find these types of answers I will be forever grateful
