1 When you [[move/rename>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.refactoring-operations-pages.move-rename.WebHome]], or [[delete>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.refactoring-operations-pages.delete-page.WebHome]] a Page, XWiki can automatically update [[links and references>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.linking-references.WebHome]] pointing to that Page. This helps keep the documentation consistent and avoids broken links.

3 By default, the "Update links" option is enabled and ensures that all [[backlinks>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.linking-references.WebHome||anchor="HBacklinks"]] are updated to the renamed Page and itsĀ [[child Pages>>documentation.xs.user.base.page.nested-pages.relations.WebHome]] will be automatically updated to reflect the new location.
