Hi, i changed some sheets around in a workspace and ended up with a bunch of outbound links to unknown pages.
is there a way to remove all outbound links to unknown? or am i stuck going one cell at a time and deleting?
thanks
Hi Matt -
If the target sheet was deleted, you could undelete the sheet (click Home > Deleted Items, right-click the sheet to Undelete) and then bulk remove the links from the target sheet. To bulk remove the links, multi-select the cells (hold Ctrl on a PC or command on a Mac and then click the cells), right-click the selection, and click Remove Link.
If you run into any troubles with this, feel free to reach out to our Support team at support@smartsheet.com.
Thanks,
Sonia
Hi, I have a LOT of cells that have these <unknown link> in them in a single spreadsheet, and its going to be very tedious to remove all of them one at a time. I dont know the name of the original file they were linked to, and just want to globally remove them all. Is there a way to do that?
Craig,

These older posts are likely unmonitored. The Community Managers get promoted and/or move on and whether anyone at Smartsheet catches an update seems to be hit or miss.
Smartsheet has made a small improvement here. If the source sheet is deleted, the Link In arrow is now red. A valid Link In will be blue.
You can select multiple cells at once and remove the inbound links using the right-click menu, but there is not (yet) a "remove only invalid links" option. That means when you remove the links in a range, all of the inbound links are removed (outbound links are not removed).
There is no way in the GUI to remove all invalid links in one or more sheets.

There is now a way to delete the <unknown sheet> references.
