After opening the workbook, on the Data tab, in the Connections group, click Edit Links, and then update the links only from the sources that you need. Click Don’t Update, and contact workbook's owner.

Then use the SourcePathparameter of Update-Helpto download the updated help files from the shared and install them on the computer.
