Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Deleting a Page : Need an option to update Link references of the deleted page
Use-case:

 Content author Deleting a page.
Current/Experienced Behavior: When content author deletes a page from AEM then the deleted page link references don't get removed in the Site core and There is no option to redirect the references to a new page or completely delete the references(hyperlinks).
Improved/Expected Behavior:

 When we try to delete a page then it gives us the three options

·         link to another item (if the page being deleted has been                     hyperlinked somewhere then it will redirect the deleting                page URL to new location before deleting)

·         To remove the references if the page is hyperlinked                        anywhere on the site

·         Leave links – the links will appear in the Broken Links report
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable):

 AEM 6.5
Customer-name/Organization name:  
Screenshot (if applicable):

 
Code package (if applicable):

@dasarividyasagarreddy , doesn't the link checker do that? See: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/administering/operations/external-link-checker.html?lang=en

Hi @kautuk_sahni , When a page is getting deleted. we need an option to update/redirect  it's link references  to a new page.

@dasarividyasagarreddy but that is the second action in the screenshot, "link to another item", right?

@kautuk_sahni Yes, we need this "link to another" option when the page gets deleted.

@kautuk_sahni - we need this option as a feature from AEM, can you check if that is possible.

Thank you for the enhancement request. While this works in AEM today, visually, via link icon in RTE that appears broken if a reference i deleted - it is acknowledged that a UI to guide a user through adjusting such references would be very useful. It is in the backlog for future releases, timing TBD.
