supportI’m looking for info on the BLC link management options. Surprisingly, I don’t find any info on them in the docs. I’m using the local version of BLC. I have a handful of broken links. In some cases, the link is gone forever because the Source page is in the trash. I don’t know whether to choose Unlink, Not Broken, or Dismiss. What are the differences between these options? Thanks.
Hi @akubrin , I hope you’re doing well. I’m sorry, as there is no further documentation for the Local version, as that’s the legacy version of the scan, but regarding your question: I don’t know whether to choose Unlink, Not Broken, or Dismiss. What are the differences between these options? Unlink: When there is a link that doesn’t work anymore, for example page A link to page B, but page B no longer exists, then you unlink the link on page A, as there is no option to replace it with. Not Broken: sometimes the links go to a False Positive, for example, you click the link and the page actually works, for example, the link checker is being blocked at some point, then you mark it as Not Broken. Dismiss: Is somehow similar to the Not Broken option, but in this case, it is just something that you want to “ignore”. As a side note, you can also give the Cloud version a try. Please let us know if you have further questions. Best Regards, Williams Valerio
