I have to change the data source of all the layers of an ArcGIS Pro project map because of data migration from one sde to another sde. Is there any ArcGIS pro functionality to replace the data source of all the layers using one tool similar to ArcCatalog set data source functionality for .mxd?

Not sure if this was available when the problem was originally encountered, but in Pro 2.9.3, you can right-click on the map in the catalog pane and choose "Update Data Sources". There is a find and replace function you can use to batch update links to all the layers in the map. Hope this helps!

Now in 3.1.1 I can only find it in the menu, not via right click. But it saved my day, to know that I have to search on map level and not for the whole project.

I followed the process outlined here (Update data sources—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation) but when I open my layouts I see the dreaded red exclamation mark and still need to update some of the data sources manually:

I'm using 3.1 and following these steps and also still getting the dreaded red exclamation mark as well.  It is mighty annoying to have to change the source data by going and selecting the feature dataset, then the feature class for some 50 items in a project.  EXTREMELY tempted to go back to the source doc in arcmap and change it there and then re-import back into pro.  At least in desktop catalog IT WORKS RELIABLY for the change in data source.

Still have not found the equivalent to AM that will work in AGP 3.2.2. So annoying.

Open Catalog View from within your project.
From the ribbon that opens at the top, click on Data Sources.
On the new ribbon, click to highlight Workspace.
Now you can enter a new path for each data source, rather than each layer (which is hopefully a far shorter list).
Click on Apply in the ribbon.

Do you mean from the Contents View?

Yes, this does work. Not quite as simple as the method we use within AM, but gets the job done.

Thank you for the reply.
