Scan for Broken Links in Site Directory
When you create a site under your top-level site, links are automatically generated to the new sites. If sites are moved in the hierarchy and the links aren't modified to reflect the move, those links will be broken and will not lead you to the site. SharePoint offers you the option of scanning for broken links in the Site Directory:
In the Site Directory, click Site Actions and then select "Scan for Broken Links."
On the Broken Site Directory Links page, click the menu arrow under View and choose an option. The available options are:
All Sites
Broken Sites
Categories
Rejected Sites
Site Creation Categories
Submitted Sites
Click OK to start the scan. The scan will return the number of broken site links, nonbroken site links, and unknown links.

Figure 5-28. Changing site settings
When the scan is finished, click OK.
You will be taken to the Sites page using the Broken Links view. If there are no broken links, this view will be empty.
