Hey everyone,

I need help with this issue: I can't see the "Search for missing links in this folder" option in Adobe Illustrator to do it.. I'm sure I updated to version 28.05 via Adobe Creative Cloud. What can I do?

You are probably trying to replace to a different image instead of relink to the existing missing one..

The relinking works with that feature, the replacing does not.

Hello AbdAlRaouf AlHomsi,

Thanks for reaching out. Illustrator now automatically searches for other missing files in the same folder and relinks them. When opening an AI file with missing links, you will need to choose the option for replace:


Then, after selecting the correct file, you will need to check the box for "Search for Missing Links in this folder" and then click on the Replace button:


If you have the file already open, go to the Window menu to open the Links window, and choose the Relink button to relink your images.


And then check the box for "Search for Missing Links in this folder" before relinking the file again:

 

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

 

Thanks,
Anubhav

Thank you very much, the problem has been solved

Perhaps the issue was related to the version that was not updated, now everything is fine ❤️
