Hi, this problem started happening to me today, I always work with linked files. And I use the "replace all" tool a lot, but today it simply disappeared, I would like to know if it is a setting that I changed.
My illustrator is in Portuguese, I tested it in other languages ​​and the problem persisted.
In the Archive "Imagem (2).png, It's a print from a friend of mine who has the same version of Illustrator, but it doesn't show the problem.

Hi, today i reinstalled Ai in a older version, more specifically 28.4.1 version. In this version, i can replace all instances of the same link. I think it's a bug of this new version.
The AI of my Friend today stop working, we use this on all projects, i hope this bug gets fixed.

Hello @Bruno Bergami37392737x4th,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind trying to click on Replace and then checking the box for "Search for Missing Links in this folder" when selecting the missing file to check if it helps?


Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Anubhav

Hello, thanks for the response, sorry for the delay in responding, I ended up not receiving notification of the response. I tried to do as I said, but unfortunately it didn't work, I keep having to go manually 1 by 1, and sometimes to make matters worse, the message starts to intersperse which link I need. I attached a file for demonstration, Link_1 and Link_2 have two incidences of each, that is, I need to manually link the same link twice, in version 28.4.1 this error did not occur, as "Apply all" appeared in the message box ", then illustrator replaced them all. I think this is an inconsistency of updates, and it impacts my work too much.
In the attached file, this is exactly the method I work with.
Thank you very much in advance

Hi, I did this, but as I work with this method for files with different names, it finds an error as if it were not possible to find because the name is different, I just don't understand why I can't (aplly all), as I have several linked files , I would like to replace all incidences of this link at the same time, just as it appears in my friend's Ai dialog box.
