# Links Actions

Update links, Relink to cloud, Relink to local, and other link actions

Each link in the Links dialog has three dots on the right side that you can click to access the link's actions.

### Individual or multiple links

The following are link actions that can be performed on individual links or on multiple selected links:

* Sync
* Upload
* Relink to cloud
* Relink to local
* Show details
* Go to link

Link actions vary based on each file’s current status. The menu only shows actions supported for that specific link.

When you select multiple links, LinkrUI shows only actions that work for every selected file. To prevent you from applying an action that would fail for part of the selection, actions that are not supported by every file are hidden.

#### Sync

Select <kbd>Sync</kbd> to update modified links when you want to sync your local file and cloud asset.

After you select Sync, LinkrUI either opens a dialog if the link's status is local newer or conflict, or downloads the new version without asking you first if the status is cloud newer.

For example, if you have a modified link whose status is conflict, choose which version to keep:

* Select <kbd>Update</kbd> to override the cloud version with your local changes.
* Select <kbd>Reset</kbd> to discard your local changes and download the cloud version.
* Select <kbd>Do nothing</kbd> to close the dialog without syncing.

#### Upload

{% hint style="info" %}
Upload is only available for links with local status.
{% endhint %}

Uploading an individual link from the Links dialog follows the same process as uploading from the [document icon or main menu.](/linkrui/asset-action-menu-list/upload-new-assets.md)

**To upload from the links dialog**

1. Select the three dots next to the local link and select <kbd>Upload</kbd>.
2. In the Upload dialog, fill in required fields and then select <kbd>Upload</kbd>.

After the upload completes, LinkrUI automatically relinks your Adobe document to the cloud asset. The link status then changes to valid.

#### Relink to cloud

The Relink to cloud option enables you to relink any local link in the Links dialog to an asset in your DAM.

When you select <kbd>Relink to cloud</kbd>, LinkrUI searches the DAM for assets matching the linked filename.\
Matching assets appear with previews and dates.

#### **Start relinking**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Find cloud matches

Select the three dots next to the local link in the Links dialog, and choose <kbd>Relink to cloud</kbd>.

If LinkrUI finds cloud results that match the link name, it shows the best matches in a drop-down list. If no matches were found, the message "*No results were found"* is displayed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose an asset

If LinkrUI found results, review the previews and dates of each match.

If the expected asset is not listed, use <kbd>⌕</kbd> to Search In Panel for the correct asset in the DAM.\
You can also use the search bar on top to search for replacements if no matches were found.\
When you find the file you want to relink instead of this link, select <kbd>Place</kbd> on that file for it to replace your current link.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm the replacement

Click the <kbd>✓</kbd> to approve the selected link. The link is then replaced and relinked

Click the <kbd>×</kbd> to cancel relinking.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### Relink to local

The Relink to local option enables you to replace a link with a different local source file.

**To relink to local**

1. Select the three dots next to the link in the Links dialog, and choose <kbd>Relink to local</kbd>.
2. In the dialog, locate and double-click the new source file.

Your link is now linked to the new file on your device.

#### Show details

To open the Details view of the selected link, select <kbd>Show details</kbd>.

#### Go to link

To go to the link in your document, select <kbd>Go to link</kbd>.

### Bulk operations

If you have multiple links that need the same action, LinkrUI supports bulk operations for Sync all, Relink to local, Relink to cloud, and Upload all.

#### Sync all

Select <kbd>Sync all</kbd> to sync every modified link between your local files and cloud assets.

LinkrUI then opens a dialog for each link, based on its current status. Choose <kbd>Update</kbd>, <kbd>Reset</kbd>, or <kbd>Do nothing</kbd> for each link.

#### Relink all to cloud

1. Select <kbd>Relink all to cloud</kbd> at the top-right of the Links dialog.
2. Select <kbd>✓</kbd> to **Approve all** or <kbd>×</kbd> to **Cancel all**.

#### Relink all to local

1. Select <kbd>Relink all to local</kbd> at the top-right of the Links dialog.
2. In the dialog, select the folder where LinkrUI should search for links.
3. If the selected folder contains matching filenames, LinkrUI replaces the links.

#### Upload all

1. Select <kbd>Upload all</kbd> at the top-right of the Links dialog.
2. In the upload dialog, select <kbd>Upload</kbd>.
3. All local links upload to the cloud.

After the uploads complete, LinkrUI automatically relinks the links to the cloud assets in your document. The status changes to valid.

All uploaded files are now relinked with the cloud.

#### Unembed a linked file

To unembed a linked file, select <kbd>Unembed</kbd>.

To embed it again, or to embed another link, select the **Adobe** <kbd>Links dialog</kbd> → <kbd>Embed Link</kbd>.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.santacruzsoftware.com/linkrui/smart-linkr/links-actions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
