URL Library
The URL Library is the workspace catalog of indexable URLs with metadata used for internal linking, cannibalization checks, and coverage mapping.
Also known as: url-registry · internal-link-map
Why it matters
Without a canonical map of what pages exist and what they target, internal links rot, duplicates slip through, and gap analysis hallucinates missing pages that already exist under different slugs.
How it works
URLs ingest from sitemap syncs and manual curation with titles, intents, and embedding vectors. Content Operations queries the library for link suggestions; opportunity checks compare new topics against library slugs and keywords.
Common mistakes
- Letting the library fill with redirected or noindexed URLs.
- Skipping updates after migrations and slug changes.
- Ignoring library warnings when generating near-duplicate drafts.
- Treating the library as sitemap autopilot without editorial intent tags.
Best practices
- Prune non-indexable URLs after coverage audits.
- Tag primary intent per URL for clustering alignment.
- Sync library after major IA changes.
- Accept or edit link suggestions before draft approval.
Learn Domains perspective
You are drafting a guide on "API webhooks" and Content Operations suggests internal links to `/docs/webhooks` and `/features/integrations` from your library, instead of orphan pages or broken anchors to old slugs.
