    Hello all,

    The 'Apply to all' checkbox has been brought back in the Replace missing link dialogue.

    'Apply to all' checkbox was removed when we introduced the 'Auto-relink' (search for missing links in this folder) functionality, as we though 'auto-relink' is going to take care of the 'replace all' workflow as well. But it didn't work as expected in few cases as pointed out by some of you.

    Hence, with the latest release V29.2 (full roll out happens on Jan 9), we have decided to revert to the earlier experience whereby we are bringing back 'apply to all' checkbox and rolling back the 'auto-relink functionality.

    Because of conflicts, both of these functionality cannot co-exist unless we make some significant changes to the relinking experience.

    I found a simple workaround for this.

    If you select multiple files that need to be changed out, then click "Relink."

    In the Finder window, there will be an option to "Search for missing links in this folder."

    Selecting this will relink all the missing files in one go, instead of one by one. :)
