Question
You have a SharePoint 2016 farm that has two Web front-end servers, two application servers, one SQL Server instance, and an Office Web Apps 2013 server. Business users create reports that contain links to files that are stored in different document libraries. You have a workflow that moves documents modified more than 30 days ago from any document libraries to a designated archive library. Users report that after documents are moved to the archive library, the links in the reports do not work. You need to ensure that the document links still work for archived documents when users open documents in Office Online. Which feature should you use?

Why each option
Durable Links in SharePoint 2016 uses resource IDs instead of file paths in document URLs so that links remain valid when documents are moved between libraries.
Managed Metadata navigation organizes site navigation using taxonomy term sets and does not preserve or redirect document URLs when files are moved between libraries.
Durable Links is a SharePoint 2016 feature that works in conjunction with Office Online Server to embed a resource ID in document URLs, allowing SharePoint to resolve the link to the document's current location regardless of which library it has been moved to, such as an archive library, ensuring links in reports remain functional when documents are opened in Office Online.
Path-based redirects are not a built-in SharePoint feature that automatically handles document movement across libraries to maintain link integrity.
The Document ID feature assigns unique IDs and provides a redirect URL for individual documents, but it does not integrate with Office Online Server to maintain working links specifically when documents are opened in Office Online after being moved.
