Roundtable

Should we be updating links in old news releases when they’re broken?

  • This requires more discussion about when it’s appropriate to update a link in a news release and how to do it properly
  • It’s a good idea to visit the pages to check why the links are broken because in some cases they are broken because they were coded wrong (i.e. AEM relative links)
