However, IMO, I think Percussion should create a new Dashboard Gadget that display broken link (PDFs, Pages, etc.) so I can be aware of it. Right now, there’s no way to know.
The feature is under consideration but not planned or scheduled. We have allot of customers that use other tools, like Siteimprove, for this, so we’ve focused on better integrating with them first as they have other complementary strengths (ADA/508 reporting etc).
If you are using Managed Links you really shouldn’t be seeing rampant broken links though. Are there certain use cases that seem to cause the broken links for you?
