Santa Monica College's web pages will soon exceed our capacity to back them up. To keep everyone's data secure and to avoid the enforcement of size quotas, it is important that we delete files from the web server that are not essential to the mission of the College. If you are not actively using your homepage, please contact webmaster@smc.edu to have it removed.
Active users can help by deleting unused files. A handy way to find forgotten files is to use the Check Links feature to search for unreferenced files. This can be done in an open file, a portion of a local site, or an entire local site.
To check links within the current document:
1. Save the file to a location within your local Dreamweaver site.
2. Choose File > Check Page > Check Links.
The report appears in the Link Checker panel (in the Results panel group).
3. To save the report, click the Save Report button in the Link Checker panel.
