  The links pop-up that appears when links are missing is not showing the Apply to All option in v27.8.1 running on an M2 Mac (upper screenshot). It shows up in v27.7 running on an intel mac (lower screenshot). Anyone know how I get this feature back?

    Same problem but was able to work around by Ignoring and then once the file opens go to links. Relink just one and there is a checkbox there at the bottom that says to "look in the folder for more links.

    That is the way how relinking missing files work now.

    Seems like a solution looking for a problem. I'm in the same position as Glenn. I need to replace images in a template. So either put it back the way it was or allow both methods please.


    Yes, relinking works, replacing does not.

    Unfortunately this problem has come back again.  Normally the checkbox "Apply to All" appears but with this latest update it is missing.  Adobe - can you please fix it this time like you fixed it before?  I'm running Windows 11 with Adobe Illustrator v28.5 (updated 4 days ago).

    I'm sorry - I am running Windows 10 Pro

    Hello @Glenn270441875265,

    Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind checking the "Search for Missing Links in this folder" box when selecting your image after clicking Replace to check if it helps?



    Looking forward to hearing from you.

     

    Thanks,

    Anubhav

You'll be pleased to know that this issue has already been resolved in the public beta version 27.10.215.

    The screeshots are showing up the opposite of how I uploaded them. The M2 is the first and the intel is the second.
