Hi @Abhi31 go to Options - Advanced Options - Workflow Dependencies you be able to change the directory for all the tools at once.

Depending on what version you are on, yes! Alteryx has introduced find and replace functionality within your workflow: https://help.alteryx.com/current/designer/find-and-replace

I am using alteryx designer (2020.1.5.25447) and can see only Find option , not replace.

This functionality was released in 2020.3: https://help.alteryx.com/release-notes/designer/designer-20203-release-notes

 

You may also be able to swap out the dependency as was mentioned above as an alternative.
