Q: How to fix broken/inactive Links?

There are two issues related to invalid hyperlinks:

Unlinked URLs: Some URLs are not properly linked, which prevents users from accessing the intended content.

Meaningless Link Labels: Link labels should be descriptive and meaningful.

A:  Based on the problem please find below the answer:

Unlinked URLs: In the toolbar of the Editing wizard select Insert/Edit Link, enter the desired linked URL in the appropriate field. Additionally, provide a descriptive and meaningful label in the title field to enhance clarity and usability.
Meaningless Link Labels: Select the text you wish to turn into a hyperlink, then navigate to the Wizard menu and choose Insert/Edit Link. In the dialog box, enter the desired linked URL in the appropriate field, and provide a descriptive and meaningful label in the title field to enhance clarity and usability.
