I'm not sure I'm following the feature request. Could you try to explain another way for me, preferably with step-by-step examples of how you see it working?

Each entry have.. for example HEADER::.element Snag_2afc296

Now i go entry by entry and copy paste with Smith plugin. .

I want to update or replace just that 1 block in matrix..

Ahh, I see. You're really looking for something more like reusable matrix blocks, similar to this feature request: craftcms/cms#4769

I'm not sure this fits well into the scope of the plugin, I think this may be architected better in your content model. For example, you could create a channel for these blocks and have an entry type called "Headers" that you then link a common header to within your entries.

Let me know what you think!

just another screen.. :) Snag_2dbfefd

Now when i replace header.. in all entries.. all other block get deleted..

Or.. all works OK:: if other blocks that are not on replace page are not deleted....

I want to replace just block inside matrix..
