Editing and updating notebook links
You can open files linked to the active notebook, and you can update links to unopened files so that they reflect any changed information. Updating links is useful when you are working on a network; while you are using one notebook, others can be working on supporting files, which remain closed to you.
You can also change notebook links to another file; all link references to the selected file change to the new filename in the active notebook. As well, you can delete both notebook links and hyperlinks.
