Changing linked file paths

Use the Change Linked File Paths utility when you have moved cases that are linked to a new location on your computer or network. In order to use this tool, you need to have access the folder you are moving the files to.

 

Linked file path scenarios:

•If all the linked files were previously in the same folder, the utility automatically updates all the links in the current spreadsheet to the new path, regardless of any filter.
•If the linked files were in multiple locations originally, you can select which old path you want to change, then only the linked files with that path are updated.

We recommend you make a backup copy of the case before making any global changes, like changing linked file paths. Once the process is completed, you cannot undo the changes without restoring a backup copy of the case.
