Workflow
How to use the results

Scan the Markdown
Paste Markdown directly or use a supported Markdown URL to find broken external and relative links.
Step 2
Replace broken targets
Enter new URLs or corrected relative paths, then check the replacements.
Step 3
Export clean Markdown
Copy or download the updated Markdown and publish it back to your docs or repository workflow.
