When adding content, you'll frequently need to add links and calls-to-action to resources and/or additional information on your site. Using the formatted text editor, you can add links and buttons to text to direct users to specified resources. Links are generally added inline; whereas, buttons can be added as standalone calls-to-action to resources.

Adding a Link

Follow the steps below for adding a link to your formatted text:

1. Highlight the text you want to link.
2. Click the Link icon (or press CTRL/⌘+ K).
3. Enter the URL for the page/resource you want to link to in the URL field. If you want to link to a page or file that exists on your site, begin to enter the name of the page or file in the URL field and select it from the drop-down search once it appears.
4. Optional: Add a title for the link. This will appear as a tooltip when the link is hovered.
5. Optional: If you want the link to open in a new window/tab, expand the Advanced accordion, then select the checkbox next to Open in new window/tab.
6. Click the Save button.
