Hyperlinks in the message and posts created by a monitored user are extracted and stored in the archive. Once the hyperlinks are in the archive, our Hyperlink archiving application automatically visits the Hyperlink location, captures, and archives a time stamped image of the link/page and any available text. In the event the hyperlink points to a document, image or video the content is captured/downloaded and archived. Capture of hyperlinks, websites, documents is subject to password, redirect, and/or paywall limitations. Hyperlink Capturing How Does It Work?
