Verifying Page Links

Studio makes the job of maintaining internal links and links to other sites easier by letting you know which links might be bad.

The Link Checker can verify the location of documents on Web sites, local HTML files, and dependencies for graphics and other media files. Links to secure pages (HTTPS) FTP links, and mailto links cannot be verified. By default, all the links will be checked, but you can un-check as many links as you like to skip verifying them. Tags in comments are not evaluated.
