| 1 | Before [[updating any links>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.linking-references.updating-links.WebHome]], the [[move/rename>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.page-refactoring-operations.move-rename.WebHome]] and [[copy>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.page-refactoring-operations.copy-page.WebHome]] operations wait for link indexing to complete. Link indexing is the process used to discover and record [[internal links>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.linking-references.WebHome||anchor="HInternalLinks"]] between Pages, so that all Page references to the affected Page can be identified and updated. | ||

| 3 | If many indexing operations are running (for example, after recent Page updates or [[imports>>documentation.xs.admin.imports.WebHome]]), this step may take longer. | ||

| 5 | If the waiting time exceeds 10 seconds and is unlikely to finish within the next 10 seconds, you are prompted to choose whether to continue waiting: | ||

| 9 | * "Continue waiting" ensures that all Pages that reference the Page are correctly discovered and updated. | ||
| 10 | * "Skip waiting" proceeds immediately with the operation, but some Pages that reference the Page may not be detected and updated. | ||

| 12 | You do not need to take any action if you choose to wait. The prompt is automatically dismissed once link indexing completes. |
