Update Links tab

You can use this tool to update the locations of your migrated documents in the Link Tracking database. This will be useful if the locations of your migrated documents have changed (for example, you may have changed the external host name of your SharePoint server, changed the path for a SharePoint site, or moved your content database to a different server).

For example, imagine that you have migrated all your Notes documents to a staging SharePoint environment (http://staging01:8080) and now it is time to go live. You plan to detach your content database and reattach it in your production environment or even a hosted environment such as Microsoft SharePoint Online (say, http://acme.sharepoint.online). The "Update links in the Link Tracking Database" function will allow you to update all references to documents that will be impacted by this move in the Link Tracking Database.

Link Finalization tab

You can use this tool to update or permanently replace all Dynamic Links in a set of migrated documents. This works for links in SharePoint List Items, SharePoint Pages, InfoPath documents, Word documents or any other SharePoint target you chose to migrate to.

You can use this tool when updating the Link Tracking Database is not enough and you want to update the actual Dynamic Links in the migrated documents. The most common reason to do this is to permanently replace all Dynamic Links with direct links to the last known locations of the target documents. A secondary reason might be to change the location of your Redirector Page.

This tool allows you to select the set of documents that contain dynamic links that you want to update.
