It sounds like Symbols. Create one piece of artwork and drag it onto the symbols palette. Now drag multiple copies onto the canvas.
To update the symbol, select one of the instances on the canvas and click the 'break link' button on the symbols palette. Make your changes, then select the artwork on the canvas AND the symbol in the symbol palette. Now choose 'Redefine Symbol' in the palette's pop-up menu.
