Links
'Links' allows you to quickly find out if a certain element (an ink, a profile, …) is referenced somewhere
else in the CMS database.
Example
To find out if a profile is used in a device link, you can use Links. The main objective is not only to find
out but also to delete elements from the database. Since elements cannot be deleted when they are
still referenced, it is important to know what element needs to be deleted first.
Example
I would like to delete a profile from the database because I do not use it anymore. Color Kit does not
allow me to delete it because there is a device link that uses this process.
