# Published page links to another page, but the link opens the original in the source space instead of

**What you are seeing**

A published page links to another page, but the link opens the original in the source space instead of the published copy.

---

## Why it happens

The linked page had not been published at the time. Links to unpublished pages are left pointing at the source, and the app records them as "missing links".

---

## What to do

Publish the linked page, then republish the page containing the link. There is no screen anywhere that shows you the recorded missing links, so work from the Unpublished list to find gaps.
