Show links when deleting a page

[Keanegdom]

I think GitBook used to show a list of pages that contain a link to the page you are trying to delete.
It was great for making sure you don't break any references when deleting pages.
Now this feature seems to be gone. Is it a bug that's going to be resolved soon?

Hey @Keanegdom,

We've temporarily disabled this feature in change requests for organizations not in the Pro or Enterprise plan. This is while we upgrade to a better solution for detecting links to pages and files.

The ability to detect links in the main content of a space (i.e not a change request) is still available to all plans. Let me know if that is not the case for you.

Hi @valentin0h, thanks for your prompt reply!

Maybe it's due to my inexperience, but I don't think I follow. This is how I used to track references to a page:

1. In the edit mode, I pressed the "Delete" button next to a page.
2. I could see a list of all the pages containing links to the current page on the confirmation pop-up.

Recently, this option stopped working for me, as the list of pages is no longer in the pop-up.
Are you saying that there is another way of tracking references between pages? I would appreciate some guidance if, indeed, there is a way of doing it on the Personal or Plus plans.

Yes exactly, the edit mode is a change request in GitBook.

We have temporarily removed support for detecting references/links between pages in change requests for organizations in the Personal/Plus plans. We're looking into adding this back soon.
