Updating the Symbol Pins while doing schematic PIN change

 Dear All,

I I ahve already created a symbol for the schematic. 

But now I modify some pins in Schematic but I am not observing same modifications being propagated to its corresponding symbol.

Is there any way to achieve the same.

Kind Regards,

     Dear Andrew,

    Thanks a lot for your reply.

    Couple of doubts:-

    1)

    If composer finds one to one realtionship between the symbol pins and the pins in schematic, then I think one can exploit this relationship. What I mean is:- Suppose there is a PIN A in schematic and corresponding one in Symbol. If I rename PIN A to B,then through the above relationship the corresponding PIN in symbol should change to B. Of course adding a NEW pin is totally a different story.

    2)

    I think if I have modified the original created symbol by composer ( it is generally a square/rectangle) to a suitable circuit looking symbol let's say for example a OPAMP symbol for a OPAMP circuit, then Create -> CellView-.... method will change the shape from OPAMP to a rectangle which I don't want.

    Kind Regards,
