LabVIEW Project Restoration: Resolving Broken Wire References Across OS File Paths

When restoring source code from a backup or archive into a different directory structure or across different operating systems, LabVIEW relies on the .lvproj file to manage dependencies. While the project file tracks relative paths, restoring individual .vi files manually can lead to broken wire references and missing sub-VI links.

A specific challenge arises when the restoration target environment uses a different root path than the original backup. Even when dependencies are present, the automatic resolution of these links may fail if the absolute pathing differs significantly between the backup source and the recovery destination.

• How does LabVIEW handle the automatic resolution of broken wire references when restoring VIs across disparate OS file paths?
• Is there a documented method to force the project to re-index all dependencies without manually updating every broken link in the Project Explorer?
