How do I use the Move/Rename process in LinkFixer Advanced?

1. Trial Note: In the trial version, the Move/Rename function processes up to 500 links per day and 5,000 links total during the 21-day trial.
   
2. Tip: The Move/Rename command works on parent files, links, and child files even if they haven't been inoculated as long as the links are healthy. Use Inoculate only before using Cure.

    A reminder message about SQL Database performance may appear. By default, LinkFixer Advanced uses its built‑in SQLite database. Since this is only a sample file, you can simply click "Yes" to continue.
    
    If prompted about backups, select whether to create automatic backups (Recommended for production files). Select "Do not make automatic backups" since this is only for a sample file.
    
    
21. When processing is complete, the LinkFixer Advanced “Move/Rename Process Dashboard” window will appear, confirming that the Move/Rename process has been successfully applied to all selected files. You may also view the summary report by clicking "Open Report".
