Cisco 2960X stack Link Meaning

[anthony.j.shutters.civ1]

In this stack summary, what does the "Link Active" mean?  I have sites that say "yes" and others that have nothing.  I've noticed that if it has "yes" then it is always the "Master" switch that says it.  And what does it mean if all of them say "No" like the one below?

Yes in link active, indicates that the stacking cable on the respective port is active and the stack connection is functional.
Typically, the switch with "Yes" is the Master switch in the stack. This is because the master plays a significant role in managing and verifying the stack links.

No in link active, indicates that the stacking cable on the respective port is not active, meaning there is no functional link detected.
Possible causes for this include a disconnected or faulty stacking cable, a configuration issue, or a hardware failure.

All No in Link active, means no stack links are active, so the switches in the stack may not be forming a stack correctly.
Each switch might be running independently (standalone mode) because they are not able to establish a stack relationship due to connectivity or configuration issues.
