Can I find a list of all the media files and author notes used in a lesson?

Link Checker Tab

The Link Checker Tab is the part of the Book View that generates information about links and media files in your book. This feature is useful if you want to check which files you're using in a lesson or if you're looking for a particular media file. Click on the '+' sign to expand any category. In the following example, Link Checker shows us that book page "Question Branch 1" is missing text in the Text field. Additionally, the red category "Pages with no incoming links (orphaned)" indicates some pages are not linked properly in the lesson. As a result students will never see these orphaned pages. Lastly, the red text indicates there are some orphaned media files.

It puts information about the book into an outline with the following folder names:

  • Warning: Missing fields Lists text fields that have been left blank. Sometimes this is intentional but usually it indicates a feedback that the author forgot to enter.
  • Error: Bad Links Lists bad links such as links to pages where the page has been deleted.
  • Pages with incoming links Lists all pages that have another page pointing to them.
  • Pages with no incoming links (orphaned) Lists pages in the lesson that the student can't reach (orphaned pages).
  • Media files used Lists all the media files such as images, video and audio files, used in the lesson.
  • Media files orphaned Lists media files that are in your lesson's folder but aren't linked to. This may indicate a file you forgot to reference in one of your pages.
  • Media files missing Lists media files that you are linking to but which can't be found in your lesson's folder.
  • Hot Spots Lists all pages which have a hot spot.
  • Lesson links Lists links to other lessons.
  • Web links Lists links to web sites.
  • Page types Lists different page types used.
