Link Checking

Link Checking will scan your page for all URLs and test to see if they are valid. This "Check Links" function can be found in two different locations, within the Content Tab, or in the Page Actions Toolbar you see every time you save a page you've just edited.

Simply click the "Check Links" icon, and OmniUpdate will check all links on the page and list the URLs that were found. The Legend at the bottom of the page explains the meaning of each icon.

It's important to know that you must click the "Check Now" button to invoke the link check function. The reason is, this is a function that can work in the background while you do other things. Should you want, you can click the "Check Now" button, then edit page properties, view previews or take other actions while you're waiting for the link checking to complete.

"Link is broken" refers to pages and files being directly linked to. "Link cannot be validated" refers to items such as mailto links which cannot actually be verified (for example the e-mail address cannot be validated that it exists).
