Managing links on a WebDAV server


    The Links palette contains information on both local (located on your hard disk) and managed links (located on a server).

    When you upload a local file to a managed server, you must also upload any linked files that it references. If you do not save the links to the same server, others who open the file will not have access to the links.

    Important: To work with managed links, you must first connect to the network and set up your workgroup server. (See Getting started with workgroup management.)

To save links to a WebDAV server:

  1. Select the link in the Links palette.
  2. Choose Save Workgroup Link As from the Links palette menu. The links are saved to the same server as the file in which they are placed.

To update or revert managed links to the latest version on the server:

  1. Select the link in the Links palette.
  2. Choose Update Link from the Links palette menu.

To determine if the local copy of a link matches the server version:

  1. Select the link in the Links palette.
  2. Choose Verify Workgroup Link from the Links palette menu. One of the following icons appears next to the link in the Links palette:
    • icon indicates that the local copy of the managed, linked file matches the version on the server The local copy of the managed, linked file matches the version on the server.
    • icon indicates that the local copy of the managed, linked file does not match the version on the server The local copy of the managed, linked file does not match the version on the server.
    • icon indicates that a local copy of the managed file cannot be found Cannot find a local copy of the managed file.
