You do not have to redfine the bookmark, but you do need to insert the new material inside the bookmark.
Bookmarks are tricky and a bit fragile. It is relatively easy to destroy a bookmark. In addition, bookmarks can overlap one another.
Look at the pages under Working With Bookmarks
here. Also
here.
You can make bookmarks visible to help in adding within the bookmark.

Perhaps the best solution is by using some coding?

Depending on how you are including the text for updating you could include headings. However, that is all you get - the headings.
What is your intention? What is it you are trying to do?
Might your need better be met by saving the parts as AutoText or another Building Block and incorporating in working documents using AutoText fields?
