hi, 

since the new update or even before there is one immprtant Button Missoing: 
"replace all". 
When i open a document in which i connected an other illlustrator document with several artboards, usually i was asked if i want to replace all of them at once. Now this possibility is gone and i have to replace the artboards manually!! Why? How can i avoid this?

There used to be an Apply to All checkbox, now there is a Replace Button and when clicked, an option to find all missing links in the same folder.

By canceling the Replace All option, you are [abuse removed] users who perform mounted operations. When you upgrade the version of the program we paid for, you cancel features that are useful to people. For this reason, we still have to use the old version. Even though we wrote so much, you don't make any corrections. What exactly is your intention? [abuse removed] There was FreeHand before, you took it and destroyed it. You have become a monopoly. If you continue like this, we will stop writing to you. As Mac users, you are forcing us to use another program. What you are doing is a great injustice.
I installed version 28.6 today, but again there is no Replace All feature. I will have to delete it and use the old version again.[abuse removed]

It is a different function now, it will relink missing files, but not replace them.

Example as i used it to create a Storyboard with Panels. Each Panel was an Artboard in an Illustrator File A. In a second Illustrater File B i collected all the Artboards to put them together in a Storyboard format.

The second Illustrator Format used to see all the Artboads in the fist File without a problem. Now, when i replace this fist File, i have to connect the same File as many times as i placed an Artbord.

Can you describe what does not work with artboards anymore? Relinking to the artboard linked in the file works for me. Replacing the link with a new file does not work.

Edit: I see that you want to replace instead of fix a missing link, that does not work unfortunately.
