How to Map the styles in indesign

Question

I have updated certain styles in template now I need to updated those styles in source indd file.
Do we have any way to map the styles or do we can replace the styles from one indd doc to another is there possible.
Otherwise do we have any other simplest way in indesign.
I have to replace more than 30 to 40 documents.
Then it take so long time.
Is there any script to make it soon.

The actual probs is I need to replace only the style naming not the style.
Example:
In indd file the style name is "Title" I need to replace this style name to Chapter Title.
Is this Possible in
scripting?
Yes its possible ....
Check below code
//rename paragraph style
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
if (myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("Title") != null)
myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("Title").name = "Chapter Title";
But if you importing template style and your template style naming is different then your document stye. I think you can also use delete old style and replace with your new style.
//delete and replace paragraph style
if (myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("Title") != null && myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("Chapter Title") != null)
myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("Title").remove("Chapter Title");
