Relative Links:

For links to items within your Community it is good practice to create relative links...in case the main domain or web address of your community changes. To do this remove the site domain or address and leave only the rest of the path.

Example:

IGLOO Domain:  anyorg.iglooproject.com Link: anyorg.iglooproject.com/meetings/october/new
Relative Link :
/meetings/october/new 

Unlinking Items:

To unlink an item simply select it and click the "Unlink" icon in the editor tool bar.
