When inserting an image from a file into a LibreOffice Writer document, what is the difference between 'Linking' the image and 'Embedding' it?
Answer: When an image is embedded, a copy of the image file is stored directly inside the Writer document, making the file self-contained. When an image is linked, only a reference path to the original image location on the computer is stored, which keeps the document file size small but can cause broken image links if the original file is moved or deleted.
Solution
Embedding makes files self-contained with larger sizes, while linking keeps file sizes small but depends on the original file path remaining unchanged.
