Subwebs and embedded files

[Jenny]

I recently converted a folder to a subweb. Web pages in this subweb use
graphics files stored in the "images" folder of the primary web. These
graphics files are common to web pages that are now in both the primary web
and the subweb. When I tried to save an update to one of the subweb pages,
I was prompted to "Save Embedded Files" into the subweb. The files that were
listed were the graphics files currently saved in the primary web "image"
folder. As far as I can determine, these files are linked in the normal
manner, but back to the primary web. I don't ever recall encountering this
in the past. Is it necessary to move all of the common graphics files into
the subweb? Thanks, Jenny

Subwebs / Subsite are independent web sites under a FP root web. All content for each webs needs to
be stored within the specific web for FP to be able to manage any links., etc.

It is not necessary to copy the images into the subweb, but, as Thomas
remarked, FP will not manage the links to the images. Also, the Broken
Hyperlinks report will show all such images as "Unverified", and every time
you save a page that uses those images you will be asked whether to Import
them or not.
