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
relinked one at a time in order to relink the session
to the correct file. This is necessary if multiple cop-
ies 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.
