The first button is effectively acknowledging the changed family but preserving values that we may have entered or altered in the project, they may be different from the original family. Ive seen confusion with this result in uncomfortable changes. This kind of change should have been done with the "first choice". Egress Paths.

Change the scale of the view to make it easier to constrain, select geometry. Dont include parameters in families that dont change geometry, instead put them in project templates and apply them to the categories they affect. On a somewhat related note, is there a way to change or get rid of added object styles in a parent family?

Further, views can be tied to view templates and have changes to a view template take effect immediately in a view or many views. We can apply a view template like before, just to make a change or we can assign a view template to the view so that it will alter the view without the past extra step of applying the view template.
