Question:
What are permanent links?
Answer:
Permanent links are a new way of handling links to pages and files. Instead of including links in regular static HTML, we store links as references to GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers). The GUID is resolved to a link when the page is viewed in a browser. This means that content can be moved or renamed freely without links being broken, since they are always generated on demand.
