FAQPage Schema
How do I find broken hyperlinks in an Excel workbook?

To audit a table of contents in an Excel model, upload the workbook to validate navigation consistency, identifying missing TOC entries, orphaned sheets, and circular link chains across all linked sheets.

Why do Excel hyperlinks break when I share the workbook with my team?

Excel hyperlinks break when shared because they often contain non-portable, user-specific file paths; auditing the workbook detects these hardcoded paths and placeholder URLs so they can be fixed before distribution.

Does the Excel hyperlink audit check HYPERLINK formulas and shape buttons?

Yes, the hyperlink audit checks all link types by inventorying HYPERLINK() formulas, UI-inserted links, and embedded shape or button links across every sheet in the workbook for comprehensive navigation validation.

What is the best way to validate navigation in a complex financial model?

The best way to validate navigation in a complex financial model is to perform a full hyperlink inventory that detects broken targets, validates TOC entries, and identifies orphaned sheets while leaving the original workbook unmodified.

Can I identify orphaned sheets in an Excel workbook without altering the data?

Yes, you can identify orphaned sheets without altering data because the navigation validation process reviews hyperlink destinations and TOC consistency in a read-only manner, ensuring the original workbook remains untouched.
