DOCS / LINK_FINDER

link_finder

Reverse lookup: given a document UID, every document in the repository that links to it. The question to ask before unpublishing, renaming or deleting anything.

Searching

Type a document UID and press Find References or hit enter. The search runs across the whole repository, following link fields, content relationships and links embedded in rich text and slices.

Results are stored per project, so the tab reopens on your last search with the time it ran. Only the most recent search is kept - a new search replaces it.

Reading the results

Each row is one reference, showing:

  • the document type and UID of the document doing the linking;
  • its language, when the repository has more than one;
  • links as, the kind of link Prismic recorded it as;
  • the field path the link lives at, so you know where to look once the document is open.

The same document can appear more than once if it links to the target from several fields.

What it is good for

  • Checking what breaks before you unpublish or delete a document.
  • Finding the pages that need editing after a UID changes.
  • Tracing where a stray navigation entry or footer link is actually configured.

For the other direction, links that are already broken, use broken_links.

Requirements

Only the Prismic repository name.
