How to replace all images at once without doing them one by one

Hello Adobe experts!

I would like some help as there's no luck searching online.

I have a project that is very labour intensive to replace images manually.

Each artwork file have a few links that are the same image and needed to change per file - see attached.

As you see, they are all the same graphics ...I thought I would highlight them all and relink, sadly I still need to relink them by each of them manually and it is very time consuming.

Please enlighten me if there are any shortcuts or scripts.

Place the AI file in the same folder as the images...

Sorry I think you misunderstanded my question - see screenshot, 

it's the repetitive relinking process is time consuming, I have no issues finding my links as files are very organised but with 100 images of the same you will need to repeat this 100 times instead of just once if that makes sense

    I'm with you!  Where on earth did the "change it all at once" box go when relinking files???  I work with premade templates for printing out stickers on sheets.  The templates has "missing files" on purpose so that you can update the template with the same art all at once (see before and after images).  Now I have to manually click to relink each and every missing file.  It's time consuming and over processing.  Is there a work around?  Do I need to revert to an older version (which I'm going to try now). Do I need to recreate this in something like InDesign to fix the problem?  Why would Adobe do this?????
