Missing "Replace all" feature when updating links

Is this going to be fixed? When you have several of the same link that you want to change to a version named slightly different to maintain integrity of the files this is not going to work.

If I have 20 versions of the same image that I need to be linked to a different image I have to replace it 20 times. This is such and obvious feature to have and unacceptable that it was removed. Also saving over the current linked image is NOT an option in a production environment. Put this back in the missing link pop up or make it an option when relinking through the Links window (as it should have always been there anyways).

I have just done the upgrade and found the same thing! This is a HUGE problem for me, sometimes my Illustrator files have a link repeated 40 or 50 times within the file..... Let's hope they bring this feature back as it's a huge pain re-linking all files individually!!

I have to agree that removing the replace all function has completely upended the prepress and setup process. It takes significantly longer to relink files, especially with multiple pages per file linked. For large format projects where we often have 100+ decals or items per sheet, having to relink them all by hand is incredibly painstaking and saving multiple files just takes up more time. Considering the developers thought this was a good idea due to some people having linking issues, can this not just be made into a setting option like the Legacy "File New" interface? That way the people who want the option can turn it on, and the people who don't want it don't have to use it.

this is a bad decision, please restore the old function- when placng multi page pdf relinking each one is most annoying and time consuming

Can you please reactivate the replace all for missing links, i work in a printshop and its taking hours to make templates for different designs.

The check box "Search for Missing Links in this folder" is not work.
Please update the new version to have the check box "apply to all"

Hello friends,
As someone who works especially on packaging and assembly, I cannot understand why a feature that was very useful to us users has been removed. Unfortunately, for this reason I am still using the old version Ilustrator. We pay the fee and get a new version, but since Adobe does not offer a solution, we have to use the old version. Why was this feature removed? What is Adobe aiming for by removing this fast and time-saving feature for end users? I hope they return to this understanding as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there is a monopolistic mentality! Do they want to make it easier for other companies to sell their assembly programs?

Same issue here. Plus I will add... when you have multiple items selected to relink, it is inconsistant with it's behavior. It sometimes will ask to replace each item, one right after another, and sometimes you will be forced to replace them one at a time by reselecting each individual item and selecting the link button. This is a monumental pain in the backside. It has taken a highly productive way to update files and trippled the amount of time it takes to create a layout! FIX THIS!!!!

I had the same issue. Found this guy on YouTube that created a script to help solve the problem and it worked for me. Hopefully it works for you. Not sure why they would remove such a useful tool. Here is the link the YouTube guy. Good luck
