Start by adding a text block or clicking a text box where you want to create your hyperlink.

To add a text link:

  1. Enter your desired text
  2. Highlight the text you want to link
  3. Click the link icon in the toolbar (or use keyboard shortcut)
  4. In the link editor, choose from these options:
    • External URL
    • Email address
    • Phone number
    • File
    • Internal page

You can add text links in these locations:

  • Text blocks
  • Image captions
  • Markdown blocks
  • Announcement bars
  • Blog post snippets
  • Cookie banners
  • Event snippets
  • Lock screens
  • Product descriptions
  • Pop-ups

Text links appear underlined by default to clearly indicate they are clickable.

Additional Link Options:

  • Create anchor links to specific page sections
  • Add URL clickthrough for more visual impact
  • Link to email addresses and phone numbers
  • Connect to internal pages or external sites
  • Attach downloadable files

Pro Tip: When linking to external sites, ensure they open in a new tab to keep visitors on your site. For internal links, keep them opening in the same tab for better user experience.

Tips for Effective Text Links:

  • Use descriptive anchor text
  • Keep linked text concise
  • Ensure links are visually distinct
  • Test all links before publishing
  • Maintain consistent styling across your site
