See for yourself that Synchronize Detail View Drawings updates detail view drawings: Make a change to a member drawing within a detail view callout, invoke Synchronize Detail View Drawings, and then open the detail view drawing associated with that detail view. You will find that the changes that you made in the member drawing were also made to the detail view drawing.
