    Please bring back this feature!! Or I'll have to downgrade Ai again. Its a nightmare to have to re-link images individually and although I've been told you can select all and replace in order, this is a real pain too.

    This is finally available in Beta 30.6.0.75

    When you replace a linked image in Illustrator, you can now choose to apply that change everywhere the image appears in your file (even across multiple artboards and repeated layouts).

    How in works:

    1. Select one or more links in the Links panel and click Relink
    2. In the file picker, note the 'Replace:' dropdown below the options
    3. Choose 'All Links (N)' to replace every instance of that file in the document
    4. Choose 'Selected Links (N)' to replace only the instances you selected
    5. Pick the replacement file and click Place

    Try it and leave a comment if it works and it works like you need it to.
