relinking

Restoring broken connections

Relinking is the act of establishing a connection again after it was broken or removed.

In computing, relinking updates references between files or code modules: The software crashed until I relinked the library.

More broadly, it describes reconnecting anything previously linked: After the site redesign, we spent hours relinking broken URLs.
