Lovegobuy Spreadsheet link check FAQ

Use these answers when an older row and the current destination do not clearly agree.

Final destinations and dead paths

Which URL belongs in a note?
Use the final relevant page after redirects finish, not a search result, short link, or registration path.
What should I do with a dead link?
Mark the row for re-research. Do not invent a replacement from a similar title or image.

Exact option matching

Can I shorten option names?
Keep the exact visible text first. Shorthand can hide a meaningful size, color, or version difference.
What if the title matches but the selection does not?
Treat it as unresolved and keep it out of a ready note until the intended option is clear.

What a dated note can support

Do older screenshots prove the current page state?
No. They can preserve history, but current decisions should use a fresh live-page check.
Why record a date?
It separates a current observation from an undated assumption when details later change.

Decision guide

Use the smallest conclusion supported by the current evidence

The final label should explain what is known without hiding what remains uncertain. Keep the original reference beside the current observation so later reviewers can see whether the row changed once or repeatedly.

Ready

Use when the final page is relevant, the intended option is visible, and the saved note agrees with the current evidence.

Parked

Use when the page opens but a required selection or detail cannot be matched. State the exact evidence still needed.

Retry later

Use for timeouts, service errors, rate limits, or challenge pages. Save the error and time instead of treating access failure as removal.

Fresh research

Use when the old page is removed, irrelevant, or no longer supports the original context. Restart from the current Lovegobuy resource without guessing a replacement.

Return to current evidence

When a row is uncertain, reopen the live destination before relying on it.
