Terminology is everything. And what is a clear name in one editor isn't the same in another.
So, what's the PD18 term for the prcedure to re-connect a project file with some of it's components when a drive or folder is changed? (eg, some of the files are on a memory stick and now that memory stick is in a different port on the computer?)
Video studio calls it re-link, What does Power Director call it??

Not sure it calls it anything but as Steve said Re-link works for me. Here is a video that shows you several ways to deal with this issue.

It pays to ask.
Editors in the same class generally have the same functions - but do them differently: not just the terms, but the methods as well.
I'm finding that mostly similar terms mean quite different things. eg, elsewhere, the scissors icon means cut the selected clip where the time marker is, but in PD - it opens a trimming window for the seelcted clip. Occasionally, the term means the same thing eg ripple editing. In this case - there's not an equivalent name for the same function.
I'll keep asking
