Hi everyone.

I've been having a problem for a few versions of Illustrator. I didn't have this problem before.
After linking a PSD file and selecting the option in the settings (FILE HANDLING > UPDATE LINKS - AUTOMATICALLY), Illustrator doesn't update the links; it only does this once every three times.

I am sending a video recording in the attachment, where on the left is the Illustrator file and on the right the PSD file, after changing the location of the red square and saving it in Photoshop, Illustrator does not always update it.

Does anyone have a solution?

My computer is Mac Studio M4, system is Sequoia 15.5.

I've checked it on two computers now - the problem occurs on version 29.7.1 and UP and not on version 29.0.1 and below Can you help me?

Hi @Hektorrr,

Thanks for sharing the details and the video. Could you try disabling GPU Performance from Illustrator Preferences > Performance and check if that minimizes the issue with the links not updating? Also, please confirm if both your PSD and AI files are stored locally on your Mac and not on an external drive or a cloud‑synced folder.

Additionally, please try testing the issue in macOS Safe Mode to isolate any delays caused by third‑party extensions or background software: https://adobe.ly/4oiRYBD

Looking forward to hearing your observations after these checks.

Hi Abhishek,

Still this same... 😞

And the data is on the main computer not in cloud.

I checked now on another computer (MB Air M2/Sequoia 15.5/Illustrator 29.6.1 laptop) and it's exactly the same...
