The “relink bitmap” is a feature found in some image editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop. This function is used to update the location of a bitmap image file that has been imported into an editing project but has been moved or renamed since then.
When a bitmap image file is imported into an editing project, the editing software creates a link to the original file. If the original file is moved or renamed, the link can break, which can cause issues for the editing project, such as displaying an error message or showing the missing image.
In such cases, the relink bitmap allows the user to update the location of the original image file, reconnecting it to the editing project and enabling the image to be displayed correctly. This function can be very useful in avoiding problems when working with image editing projects that involve the import of multiple different bitmap files.

With the use of Relink, you can find all these maps again and update them all at once, instead of one by one, which makes it easier and saves time!
Here is the step by step description:
- When clicking the Relink Bitmap top bar icon, click Close on the Donate box.

- Click on Relink and it will execute this command.
- Ready! All textures will be replaced automatically.
