All links broken when files moved to a new server

Hi

We recently got a new server installed. All our files have been migrated so that the entire folder structure is the same as it was on the old server, but the new server has a different name.

As a consequence all our links in InDesign are broken. We can manually relink everything as we go, but wondered if there is a way to point InDesign to the top level of the folder structure and then find its way to the links through all the sub folders. Maybe a script?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

I was in your boat and found something shared on a random github page. It's awesome. Search for:
