Be warned though, if you need to view local file references you\u2019ll need to change your Link Checker from &#8216;Show Broken Links&#8217; to \u2018Show External Links\u2019. You can also use the app to find orphan files (i.e. files that aren\u2019t in use) by altering your link report to \u2018Show Orphaned Files\u2019.
