Add or remove a hyperlink

Create hyperlinked text

1. Highlight the text you want to hyperlink and click the Link icon  or click Elements > Link in the editor.
   Alternatively, right-click the highlighted text and choose Create Link from the context menu, or highlight the text and use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+k or Cmd+k.
    
2. In the Link window, insert a destination URL in the Link to field.
   The Link to field autopopulates with the current page URL to make it easy to link to an anchor on the page.
   • The Link window defaults to the Search tab, which automatically searches the site based on the words you highlighted.
   • If needed, click Show more results or modify the search terms to find the right page.
   • Click the search result you want to appear in the Link to field.
     
   • To browse for a destination page, click the Browse tab.
   • Expand the hierarchy as needed.
   • Click the page or attachment that you want to appear in the Link to field.
     
      
3. In the Jump to anchor or section drop-down:
   • Leave the default No anchor or section selected to link to the top of a page.
   • Choose an option from the drop-down to link to a particular part of a page.
     The options automatically include any header sections of a page and any anchor links you added to the page. You may have to save your link before you are able to choose a header or section in the linked article. 
      
4. Under Link options, choose your preference:
   • Default will open the link in the same window.
   • Open in a new window will open the link in a new window or new tab in the same browser.
   • Open in contextual help overlay will open the link in a simplified smaller window in the center of the page.
     External links, attachments, or PDFs cannot be displayed as a contextual help window.
