There are two types of links used in the SharePoint environment: absolute and relative. The first step to understanding how to use relative links in SharePoint is recognizing the key differences between both types of links. An absolute link is an exact address of where an object exists or the explicit Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of that object. A relative link is an abbreviated URL based on the location of an object. Relative links in SharePoint are designated as server-relative, site-relative or folder-relative, based on whether you plan to use the server, site or folder as a base for the relative link.
