Relink a linked file that cannot be found

Steps

1. Find the row with the red label Unavailable.

   In place of Open, the row has a Relink button. The original is not where OpenFrame expects it.

2. Click More actions. The menu now starts with Relink….

   The rest of the menu is as usual: Details, Rename, Move to, Reveal in Finder, Export Copy… and Delete.

3. Open Details to read the explanation.

   The panel says: This linked file can't be found. It may be on a drive that isn't connected, or it was moved. Relink it. The reference is never deleted. Click Relink… and pick the file in its new place.

4. Compare with a linked file that is available.

   An available linked file says: Linked files stay where they are. Moving or renaming the original breaks the link until you relink it. Its buttons are Reveal in Finder, Export Copy…, Relink… and Delete.
