Broken Link Alerts
Find out when a product link breaks or stops selling
Every product link on MakerManifest is checked once a night. When a product page stops loading on two nightly checks in a row, the item is marked in your gear list editor and you get a message listing what broke.
The check looks for pages that are gone, such as a deleted listing or a dead store. Amazon links are checked weekly, and there the check also flags products that can no longer be bought: listings marked Currently unavailable, and listings with no featured offer that only show See All Buying Options. A problem found on Amazon is rechecked the next night before the item is flagged. Other stores are not checked for stock.

How to use it
Open a gear list from your dashboard. Items whose link has been confirmed broken show a red "Link may be broken" badge under the title.
Click the badge to open the item.
Click "Change URL" next to Product URL and paste a working link. The item keeps its position, section, and settings.
The badge clears once the new link is saved.
