I'm quite new to revit and currently designing a Skyscraper for my construction class at university and have so far created 74 levels with a floor plate on each.
I would like to know if I create a floor plan for my low-rise section of the building; can I have all the levels within this section linked to a particular floor so if I move a chair/beam/object on one level it moves on all other levels linked with it?
Thanks

You can make a typical layout a group and place group instances at other levels. Edit the group and all instances will update.
@ToanDN has the right answer.
Just a precision,
For you to gain enormous amounts of time down the line,
Be very careful to disallow joins of your peripheral walls (where they meet the skin of your building or any outside of the group element). It will avoid problems when updating group instance.
In order to do that, select a wall, right-click on the handle of the junction you want to disallow and select disallow join.
Methodwise, as well, set you wall height to: base, from the current floor, height, to the current floor +height.
It will avoid some issues as well.
Finally, do not proceed to attach anything within your group to anything ouside of your group.
If you need to attach an element to a skin wall, draw a reference plane and use it to host your family.
Groups are a fantastic tool, but require fantastic discipline for them to run smoothly.
I know it sounds boring, but consider that every mistake can repeat 74 times, so 74 times more chances of a bug happening!
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the extra information I'll definitely keep that under consideration!
Please find "Load as Group" Command in "Insert Tab".
It will make a group from a whole link.
