Best Practices Please: Folder with linked documents copied regularly on Sharepoint
lfreibert If the PowerPoint file and the Excel files always are stored in the same folder i think You can re-write the references in the PowerPoint file so that You use "relative references" instead of absolute (hard coded) references. That way the links in the PowerPoint file always points to the Excel files that resides in the same folder as the PowerPoint file.

MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile thanks for your response. I understand relative vs. absolute references outside of sharepoint but within sharepoint online, the link sources are not a file path but a URL so I am not seeing the usual "$" that would indicate an absolute reference or even how to manually edit that link. Could you clarify how to make the reference relative for sharepoint files?
