Link/embed help page, possible error

On this page it states: When replacing placed content using the Replace Image or Replace Document options on the context toolbar, clicking Options on the file browser window that appears allows you to choose a placement option for your replacement file. The placement option you select will override the document's Image placementpolicy in this instance.

Is this Windows specific? There's no Options button on macOS because it's a standard file dialog. 

Thanks

In the older V1 versions on Windows, pre 1.8 or something like that, there used to be a radio button (or maybe a check box) where you could tell the software whether you wanted the file to be embedded or linked but I haven’t seen it for a while (it's never been in V2 as far as I know) and am fairly sure that it was deliberately removed for a reason that was stated in the forums but which I can no longer remember.

(I could try to be more vague but... something... mumble... what did I come in here for...)

It looks like the documentation could be playing catch-up with the software development in this case.

As I recall the option was never offered on macOS, and was mistakenly present on Windows, so it was removed on Windows at some point during V1.

Hi MikeTO,

I've passed this to the documentation team to refine.
