 The command ignores files matching [.mintignore](/organize/mintignore) patterns. Links that point to ignored files are reported as broken.
 
-To also check anchor links like `/path/to/page#anchor`, use the `--check-anchors` flag:
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `--check-anchors` | Validate anchor links (e.g. `#section`) against heading slugs |
+| `--check-external` | Check external links for broken URLs |
+| `--check-snippets` | Check links inside `<Snippet>` components |
+
+Example with multiple flags:
 
 ```bash
-mint broken-links --check-anchors
+mint broken-links --check-anchors --check-external
 ```
