You probably know that when you have a missing placed graphic, or one that you want to replace with a different graphic, you can use the Relink feature, by clicking the small chain button in the Links panel.
You can also relink a file by right-clicking on it the Links panel.
But you might not know that when you use Relink, you actually have a choice of which folder InDesign takes you to. It can either go to the folder you went to the last time you relinked a file, or to the original location of the file you’re currently relinking. Having this option can really save you a lot of wasted time clicking around to find the file you want.
To choose the behavior you want, go to Preferences > File Handling, and select either Most Recent Relink Folder or Original Link Folder from the Default Relink Folder menu.
