- acover 9y agoThere are two types of links in ipfs. Static content that works by hash of the content. Dynamic content that is signed by the owner of the bucket.... I think I haven't looked at it for months
- drabiega 9y agoIPFS is immutable and hash addressed, so 'modifying' something yields a new address. Existing documents that point to the modified thing will still point to the old version, unless their links change as well. Effectively, sharing a hash address to the main page is sharing a snapshot of the site.

- tylersmith 9y agoYou use IPNS to give a static name and change the root hash of that name when you update content.
