Detect broken links in documents - Sharepoint online migration

Andre_SilvaThere are also other tools doing the same job like Cognillo that you mentioned but are more affordable.
My tool is ReplaceMagic (www.replacemagic.com) where identification of links in documents, SharePoint pages (hard coded links, Wiki or Canvas pages), list item field of URL type and coming Web Parts is free. In case that you want to fix links that is chargeable but ReplaceMagic licenses does not have limitations on number of sites or documents or link except to number of users/computers where tool is used. Also RM licenses are perpetual.
Of course, we can keep document metadata (last modified date or last modified by).
At the end, I doubt that with scripts you'll be able to come to functionality that is provided by tools similar to ReplaceMagic.

Chrome offers extensions to detect broken links in a site collections. The extension works really good at detecting broken links. But it wont detect broken links within web parts, leading to the conclusion that the user will have to run the extension in each of the web parts within the site collection.
