Hello, I have a multi-page AI file placed in my InDesign document. After making changes to the AI file, I save it. When I check the Links panel in InDesign, the yellow triangle alert appears. I ALT-click the update button, and InDesign updates all the links, but the changes I made in the AI file are not reflected in InDesign.
This is a process I've done many times before without any issues. The same problem occurred with a different file yesterday. I've tried restarting my PC in case it was a glitch, but that didn't help. Do you have any idea why the link update function isn't working as it should?

I have since deleted the linked file and re-placed it which seems to have resolved the issue. If it happens again I will try this. Thanks.

Are you linking to files on your hard drive or to files on a server or cloud? If you've been linking to a source that is not your hard drive then try the process with files on your hard drive and see if the problem persists.

Good morning, I tried copying the working folder (with linked files) to my hard drive, opened the ID file, it asked to update the linked file which I did, but unfortunately, same result. 😞

Does it happen with any Illustrator file or only multi-page ones?
p.s. multi-artboard, to be accurate.

So far seems to only be with multi-artboard AI docs

Maybe your file got corrupted.
Try IDMLing to fix your file - export as IDML, open, save with a new name - do not overwrite your original file.

Do you still have a copy of your file - before replacing AI file?
Can you try IDMLing it anyway? Just to see what happens.
Replacing AI file might have fixed the corruption.
