To visually illustrate Larry's correct answer:
Relinking files when opening a document:
1) I have linked file "old-paper-texture.jpg" placed into my document. The file itself is located on my desktop.
2) If I move the "old-paper-texture.jpg" to another location, when I reopen the document it will ask me to relink the file. Click yes.
3) The dialog will then tell you it cannot locate the linked file. Click "Replace".
4) Choose the location to which you moved the file.
Your file should then be relinked.
Relinking files from the Links Panel:
If you aren't prompted to relink your files, Go to Window > Links to open the Links Panel. Then, click on the icon highlighted below and follow step four above.
Embedding Images:
You can also embed files into your Illustrator document. This basically creates a copy of the embedded file that is included inside the Illustrator document, so you don't need to worry about files becoming unlinked. However, this may greatly increase the size of your file, and is not always the most advisable strategy, but it's still useful to be aware of.
Simply open the flyout in the Links Panel by clicking on the icon in the upper right hand corner, then select "Imbed Image".
I hope this is helpful, and thank you Larry for your great answer.
