Easier way to relink assets

  • August 10, 2020

I have a huge library of assets on CC Library. 

When I need to replace one asset by another - by clicking on "relink" option, it shows the full list of assets, not sorted by group. The search also doesn't work, when I click on search bar it exits the relink mode.

So I need to manually scroll and find the asset to make the swap.

Is there a way to filter or sort the assets on relink, to show the assets on the same folder at least? It's hard to find the asset in a big library without any of this features.

Thank you for the tips.

However, I'm not trying to relink any missing asset. I want to replace one asset by another on my library.

For example:

I have an asset that is a red elipse.

On my library, I have a lot of other elipses (green, yellow, purple, etc).

I want to select my red elypse then replace with a green elipse.

To make it, I go to the relink option, so I can choose the green elipse on my library.

The problem is: I have more than 1000 elipses and once I click on relink, I have no way to sort or serach on the library. I need to manually scroll the assets panel until I find my green elipse.

Does it makes sense now?
