You can relink an assembly to the latest version of the files that it references.
If the assembly and its subassemblies reference versions of parts that are not the latest version, the references are moved to the latest versions of the parts.
Older versions of the parts, assembly, and subassembly are not upgraded and their references are not affected.
If the newer versions of referenced files have undergone geometry modifications, using this option could result in unwanted assembly changes or rebuild errors. In addition, if file properties such as Part Number, Description, or Material have changed, in the newer versions, this could cause changes in Bills of Materials.
