Tools - Link check

You can perform a link check within the project using the tools. Incorrect links within a project can be identified and corrected in this way.

Click on the"Link check" button to open the tool in a new window.

The link check calls up the web pages, beginning with the specified start path, like a search robot/spider. The page generated in this way is checked for faulty links in the output.

The status of the link check is displayed continuously in the left-hand window. Green boxes symbolize correct links, while red boxes symbolize faulty links. By pointing with the mouse to a box, the relevant page is displayed via the alternative text.

Once the link check has been completed, the incorrect links are listed in the right-hand window. Clicking on a link opens the relevant page in a new window. The incorrect link is displayed in red below the link in question.
