Adobe removed being able to update multiple links at once in Illustrator.

I have Illustrator template files I set up where PDFs are precisely placed and are swapped out week to week. I would just have to move where the original .PDF file was linked from and once Adobe Illustrator couldn't find it's original location, it would ask me if I would like to "Replace" "Ignore" or "Ignore All" with a checkbox to "Apply to All" (photo attached from another thread)

 

 

For some reason they've removed the "Apply to All" function in the update 4 days ago and now each instance has to be manually relinked 1-by-1.

 

 

What is the reasoning behind this?

 

Is there a workaround already implemented that I'm unaware of?

    Hello @brandona42063668 ,

     

    Thanks for your patience. Our team has made some improvements in the latest version of Illustrator v27.9, which should help alleviate the trouble you're having with Illustrator. Would you mind trying to update to the latest Illustrator version and sharing your observations?

     

     

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

     

    Thanks,

    Anubhav

      in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

      p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
