Re-linking from another document

[BcO72]

Hive mind - I have multiple documents with the same broken links. Having gone through the process of re-linking all the files in one document, is there any way to copy these links to other documents for the purposes of relinking or do I have to re-link every image in every document individually ?  The linked files are all in different folders so I cant just select a folder.

Hi,

you do not mention the OS platform and InDesign version you are using.

Look for a solution that is based on scripting.

For example look under the category Link here provided by Kasyan Servetsky:

Scripts sorted by categories for InDesign

Note:

Before running any scripts do a backup of your documents you are running the script at.

And if you want to run a script on a batch of open documents or documents in a specific folder or folder structure see Peter Kahrel's famous script batch_convert script:

Free script Batch convert/export InDesign documents | Peter Kahrel

There is a "Run a script" section there.
