FAQPage Schema

How do I validate frontmatter and check link health in markdown knowledge base notes?▼

You can validate frontmatter and check link health in markdown notes by running a script that scans your KB directory to verify required fields, schema constraints, and the integrity of linked references.

What is the best way to find orphaned notes and missing required sections in a knowledge base?▼

Finding orphaned notes and missing required sections in a knowledge base requires batch validation, which identifies bulk maintenance signals like orphans and ensures necessary sections are present in your markdown files.

How does markdown frontmatter schema validation work for data integrity?▼

Markdown frontmatter schema validation works by checking the required frontmatter fields for correctness and ensuring the data adheres to defined schema constraints, guaranteeing data integrity and reliability across all notes.

Can I use a single command to validate all top-level collections in my knowledge base?▼

Yes, you can use a single command to validate all top-level collections in your knowledge base, executing a bulk validation process that checks frontmatter validity, schema constraints, and link health simultaneously.

What should I do if broken links and frontmatter errors are not working during batch validation?▼

If broken links and frontmatter errors are not working during batch validation, ensure your validation tool operates within the correct KB directory and has the necessary markdown processing and link verification capabilities enabled.
