“The Excel file opens.”
“Great. Does it update?”
“…Let me check.”
Before chasing a broken connection, capture:
• What fails
• Old source path
• New source location
• Exact error
What’s your first question when someone says “Excel is broken”?

A folder can be in the right place while a link inside a file is still pointing somewhere else.

“Can we delete this folder?”
“Probably” is doing a lot of work in that answer.
An old folder might still contain files that active workbooks depend on
Before deleting it, ask: Which files still link here?
How does your IT team check dependencies before cleanup?

The link works. Great!
Except it opens last year's budget.
Fixing a broken link isn't just about finding a file with the same name. It's about finding the right file.
IT teams, how do you verify the correct destination after a migration?

The drawing is finished. Until someone checks the PDF. 😅
A missing reference, an outdated title block, or a table that didn't plot quite right.

The files moved. The links didn’t get the memo.
Fixing broken links is one thing. Preventing them before a migration? That's another conversation.

Already migrated to SharePoint Online and finding broken links?
You may not need to repeat the migration.
Start by checking where the links point, where the files moved, and what changed.
Test one repair before applying it more widely.

The link isn't broken. The file still exists. So why did the workflow stop?
An archived file may still support an active workbook or report.
Before moving rarely opened files to cold storage, check what still depends on them.
