Link-Repair Capabilities and Limitations
Confirm the exact file formats, reference types and migration conditions in a pilot before processing production documents.
| Area | Typical supported scope | Validation requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Office formats | Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and Project editions plus mixed-format packages | Use the edition that supports every required file type. |
| Reference types | Hyperlinks, supported fields, linked objects, external workbook links, data sources and selected embedded paths | Scan a representative sample because support varies by format and document structure. |
| Migration mappings | Server, share, folder, site, library, tenant and URL replacements | Preserve an approved source-to-target mapping and test on copies. |
| Exceptions | Protected, encrypted, damaged, unsupported or locked files are reported separately | Resolve access and application-level issues before retrying. |
| ID-based SharePoint links | Some identifiers require source-system analysis rather than simple text replacement | Analyze before the source tenant or farm becomes unavailable. |
See the detailed SharePoint limitations and current product documentation for edition-specific behavior.
