Opening the Relink Window
When opening a session with missing files, use the
Manually Find and Relink option to open the Relink
window.
The Relink window can also be accessed after a
session is open.
To access the Relink window from an open
session:
1 Choose Window > Project.
2 Choose Relink Offline from the Browser menu.
Selecting Areas to Search
Selecting volumes and folders in the Areas to
Search pane lets you focus the search for missing
files. This can speed the relinking process by lim-
iting the number of volumes or folders to search. In
addition, excluding folders from a search for miss-
ing files also lets you redirect a session or Catalog
to a more appropriate copy of an item.
To select volumes or folders to include or exclude
in a search:
1 Configure the Areas to Search pane to display
the appropriate volume, Catalog, or folder.
2 Click each item’s Search column to toggle it to
be included or excluded in the search. A check
next to an item indicates it will be included in
the search. All folders within items are also
checked.
Single and Multi-File Relinking
The Relink window can be used to relink one miss-
ing file at a time, or to relink missing files in
batches.
Relinking Individual Missing Files
In some situations, individual files must be re-
linked one at a time in order to relink the session to
the correct file. This is necessary if multiple copies
of a media file are online, or whenever you want
the most control and flexibility over the relinking
process.
To relink a missing file:
1 Configure the Areas to Search pane.
2 Select one item in the Files to Relink list.
3 Click Find All Candidates.
Volumes selected to include in the search
