Update all linked files
When you have a large number of linked files changes, but you have a manual mode with the confirmation, you can’t say 'Update all links' in the dialogue window, and you don’t have it as a button in the Links panel.

@LRSmith, there is a separate request to have the name of a linked file copy-able:

While we're at it do you think we can copy text in dialog box so we can paste it into the search box instead of manually typing it in. I'm a horrible speller :-/
(BTW "Apply to All check box" does not work)

Illustrator REALLY NEEDS this same dialog box Update All as in InDesign. So time consuming to have to update broken links one at a time. Most annoying is Illustrator doesn't even recognize and update duplicate links

As a DTP artist are often to deal with file that have multiple link in same link object, but what I can do is relink all one by one....Orz. Sometime there will be more than hundred link in a file, relink one by one will be a nightmare. Therefor is great to have some function similar as "Update all link" in inDesign.
