    The team started to exploring ways to implement this finally. If you have some fresh ideas and things to say to help to make it the way we need it to be — it’s time to comment (it always is!)

    Please try to describe how you expect it to work. When should it happen? What are your workflows? What UI you think could work? What can go wrong?

    Also, please don’t forget to upvote this request if you are interested — Display copies of links' duplicates as instances, like in InDesign

    Definitely needs to be an option to relink all instances of an placed image. In some of my documents, I have many (sometimes 100's) instances of a placed file. I have to select the file and place each individual instance and it is very time consuming and cumbersome. If I decide not to go ahead with relinking all of the instances, I get stuck in a loop of still having to cancel each relink of each placed image. There is no way to get out of it. I do mock ups of cheer bows that have placed images of rhinestones to make it look realistic. If I want to change the colour of the rhinestones, I have to relink each individual rhinestone.
