Questions people ask
Why do media links break?
Usually a file was deleted outside Media Library Manager, a migration changed paths, or an attachment was removed while still referenced in content.
Can I fix many broken references at once?
Yes — when a working replacement exists, Smart Replace updates every reference to the missing file across the site in one operation.
