View Related Documents

Any document can have links to other documents as well documents that link to it. For example, a section can have one or more modules that link to it as well links to topic, web page, or package documents. You can view both incoming and outgoing links for a document using the Related Documents toolpane.

The top section of the toolpane displays the name of the selected document and a list of documents that it links to. The bottom section of the toolpane displays the documents that link to the selected document (parent documents). The Library Details View displays a Link Count and Links To column that calculates the total number of document links from the top and bottom sections of the Related Documents toolpane, respectively.

Note: You can resize either section of the pane by dragging the horizontal split bar up or down.

Broken links are also displayed in this pane; however, you can also display the Broken Links toolpane to show only broken links and not related documents.
