+However, if you change the file name, you'll have to update all of your links. 
-
-## Automated links {#automatedlinks}
-
-This method for automated links creates a master list of all links in a Markdown reference format based on entries in your sidebar table of contents.
-
-With this Automated links method, make sure all your pages are referenced in a sidebar or topnav data file (inside \_data > sidebars). If they're not in a sidebar or top nav (such as links to headings on a page), list them in the `other.yml` file (which is in the \_data/sidebars folder).
-
-The links.html file (in \_includes) will iterate through all your sidebars and create a list of reference-style markdown links based on the `url` properties in the sidebar items. 
-
-{% include note.html content="For the automated links method to work, each of your pages must have a `permalink` property in the frontmatter. The `permalink` property must match the file name. For example, if the file name is `somefile.html`, your permalink property would be `somefile.html`. See [Pages][mydoc_pages] for more details." %}
-
-To implement managed links:
-
-1.  In your \_config.yml file, list each sidebar in the `sidebars` property — including the other.yml file too:
-    
-    ```yaml
-    sidebars:
-    - home_sidebar
-    - mydoc_sidebar
-    - product1_sidebar
-    - product2_sidebar
-    - other
-    ```
-    
-2.  At the bottom of each topic where you plan to include links, include the links.html file:
-
-    ```
-    {% raw %}{% include links.html %}{% endraw %}
-    ```
-    
-3.  To link to a topic, use reference-style Markdown links, with the referent using the file name (without the file extension). For example:
-
-    ```
-    See the [Icon][mydoc_icons] file.
-    ```
-
-    Here's the result:
-
-    See the [Icon][mydoc_icons] file.
-
-    If the link doesn't render, check to make sure the page is correctly listed in the sidebar.
-
-## Automated links to headings on pages {#bookmarklinks}
-
-If you're linking to the specific heading from another page, first give the heading an ID:
-
-```
-## Some heading {#someheading}
-```
-
-Then add a property into the other.yml file in your \_data/sidebars folder:
-
-```yaml
-    - title: Some link bookmark
-      url: /mydoc_pages.html#someIdTag
-```
-
-And reference it like this:
-
-```
-This is [Some link][mydoc_pages.html#someIdTag].
-```
-
-**Result:**
-
-This is [Some link][mydoc_pages.html#someIdTag].
-
-It's a little strange having the `.html#` in a reference like this, but it works.
