Question

Illustrator - "Some of the linked objects in this document have been updated"

I have an issue when opening Illustrator files that contain linked images or PNGs. I get a message that says "Some of the linked objects in this document have been updated." Even if I replace the image or update the link, it still doesn't appear. However, it does appear when I export the file. I have already restarted Illustrator, my computer, and updated Illustrator, but I still have the same problem.

Hello @Carmen3726244484rs,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, a public link to a sample file after uploading it to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc., and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/3Vnnot9), so we can investigate this further?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hello @Peyton_McDonald3864,

Could you please share more details, like the OS/Illustrator version, whether this happens with all files or files from a specific folder location, and a small screen recording of the problem, so I can check it on my end?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
