Links

Use links to connect your page to other places.

You can create three types of links: internal, external, and an email address.

If you need to remove a link highlight the linked text and click the Remove link(s) button. Remove link icon.

Internal Links

To create an internal link, follow these steps:

  1. While editing a page, highlight the text that you want to link.

  2. Click the Insert/edit link button. Insert/edit link icon.
  3. The menu that populates will have five tabs and default to the Internal tab. The menu will also default to the "Current path" (because it is likely you will be inserting a link from the area of the website you're already on, the system will help your search for the link by having you start from the page you're editing).

  4. To select an item to link to, click on the item's text. If an item has a folder icon next to it, this means you can navigate to the items within that folder by clicking on the folder.

  5. Once you've selected your item its name will appear under the "Current path" menu. Click Insert to finish.
