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.

When you open files linked to the active notebook, only files that are directly linked to the active notebook are opened. You must repeat the procedure for all directly linked files that contain additional file links.

All link references to the selected file change to the new filename in the active notebook.
 
The new supporting file must have the same layout as the previous one because the same relative cells are referenced. If it does not, formulas that reference linked cells may show errors or produce meaningless values.
