How do I check links that show up in a copy error to see which ones are broken without opening every one?

[JeanelleDay]

I copied the Welcome! page from the pages in one course to another course. That seems to be the issue. The other items copied when I posted like assignments with correct dates and such. Now this Welcome! page has a lot on it. I'm wondering how I can check broken links without opening every link, which I have done but don't want to do again. I went from 6 copy errors with the entire course copy to two errors and then got it to one when I copied just that page over. For some reason, it was saying I had errors because pages were brought over that were "published" but not actually linked to in the new course. I need to get it to the point where I can copy the entire course to two more sections as a whole. Help!

Hi @JeanelleDay ...

Each Canvas course has a link validation tool that you can use to check for broken links in your course(s).  I'm not sure if you've used that tool at all, but here is a Guide with all the instructions:
