Manage recources - recource manager fails

[pummelfee]

Hello!

I often work with placed documents, spreaded over several pages. Let’s say i have an illustration from AD placed often, on two (or more) pages.

In the recource manager, each file is packed within one dropdown menu. It makes it impossible to say "replace file xy.pdf on page 2 (and dont touch it on page 1!) 

When i open the dropdown menus, the recource manager shows me were my placed files are used, but i can not make selections and then replace them. When i select more than one, the replace button is grayed out.

While the workflow is in some parts way different to InDesign i may have missed something and i appreciate any tipp.

For working with many spreaded placed files i still have to use Indesign...

Just select the one on page 2, and not the one on page 1, and click Replace.

You can replace them all by selecting the top entry (with the dropdown icon next to it) and clicking Replace.

You can replace individual ones, one by one, by selecting one and clicking Replace.

But you're right that you can't select several and replace them.
