You can view documents that link to the current file and documents that the current file links to using the Related Documents toolpane. For example, a section can have one or more modules that link to it as well as links to topics, web pages, or package documents.

Note: The Related Documents, Derived Documents, and Broken Links toolpanes are empty if you select multiple documents from either the Library or Outline Editor. Select only ONE document to display the appropriate results.

The top section of the toolpane displays the name of the selected document and a list of documents that it links to. The bottom section of the toolpane displays the documents that link to the selected document. In the Library Details View, you can add the Link Count and Links To columns. These columns calculate the total number of document links from the top and bottom sections of the Related Documents toolpane, respectively. For more information about adding columns to the view, see the View Folder Content section in the Manage the Library chapter.

Note: You can resize either section of the toolpane by dragging the horizontal split bar up or down.

Broken links are also displayed in the Related Documents toolpane; however, you can display the Broken Links toolpane to show only broken links and not related documents.
