Checking for Broken Links

1. Select the http://cda.org domain from the main page

2. Open

   

   Select “Quality Assurance” at the top

3. Open

   

   Select “links”

4. You will see several options. One of them is “broken links”.

5. The link that is broken is listed in the first column. Information about where to find the link is accessible from this view as well, but you will need to click into one of the columns.

   If the link is broken in a document there will be a number in the “documents” column; links broken on webpages will show a number in that column. In some cases a link will be broken in both pages and documents.

6. Click into “documents” on the first item, for example, will show this. The link that is broken is listed at the top (this is the same link that was listed in the view above).

The documents that need to be fixed are listed below:

You will need to go into each item listed and fix the link on that document or webpage to correct the issue. If you are not sure how to access something please ask.

Fixing document links

If the link you need to fix is in a document, you will usually need to obtain the original file in order to fix the link. This could be a Word file, InDesign file, or other. In some cases you can also use Adobe Acrobat to fix the link instead.

After you have made the edit you will then need to replace the incorrect copy on the side. If you need assistance with file management please let us know.

Fixing webpage links

When you need to fix a link in a webpage, you can use the Monsido plugin to help identify your link.

Select “content issues”

Select “see issues”

This will bring up a list of all broken links on a given page. You can click the magnifying glass to help find the link.
