In Drawing Usage, highlight the views you want to change, then click the 'Link To' button. Navigate to the needed project.
If all the highlighted views refer to one project file, you shouldn't have any trouble. If you highlight views from different projects, or if there are PMKs in the selection, the 'Link To' button will say 'Read From' instead. Unfortunately, this situation has to be resolved manually, making sure there's only one project referenced by the highlighted views.
HTH,

I have tried the link to/relink option by selecting all files/some files/individually, anything I could think of, but when I navigate to the project it is grey/unaccessible.........

Perhaps you have a layout book template or something where the links have not been broken?
It's a good idea to use templates, especially for repetitive work, rather than simply saving as from a similar project.
HTH again,

My hotlinks are all "Project" and the path is to the original file. I just can't seem to change the link. I have tried other projects and find the same thing..

I didn't see that anyone mentioned this, but in Drawing Usage you must select drawings of the same type and relink them in these groups (plans, sections, details). AC won't let you relink drawings of different types to a new project file.
This will be "fixed" in a few weeks, though.😉
Maybe this is your problem?
