Link Overview tab: see who links to this post and where it links out

This tab gives you a fast relationship map for one post: incoming links from other pages, and outgoing links from this page to others.

What this tab shows

The Link Overview tab helps answer two practical questions:

  • Which pages currently link to this post?
  • Which pages this post links out to?
Use this before publishing updates so your post stays connected to the rest of your site.

Metabox tabs and two-column Link Overview layout match the post editor.

Incoming links tell you how discoverable this post is from inside your own site.

If inbound is zero, you will see ⚠️ Orphan post instead of a source list. Add links from related articles to fix that.

Outgoing links show the path your readers can take next. This helps you check whether your post supports your intended journey.

Good outgoing links feel like natural next steps, not random side jumps.
