Insert a link

Insert a link to a URL

If you’re inserting a link, enter the URL to use for the link, or start typing to search for existing URLs. Choose one from the list of suggested existing URLs. OR, you can press the Enter key to accept the URL you entered and to close the list and create a new URL to link to.

The URL is automatically created in PageSeeder if it doesn’t already exist. When you enter a valid URL, PageSeeder looks up and displays the details and metadata for this URL.

In the Text field, you can type in the link text that you want to display as the link in the document you are editing (the source document), or before you open the Link dialog, you can swipe to choose text in your document to have as your link text. If no text is entered, the website URL is used as the link text.

You can add labels to the link. 

Click the Save button to create your link (or new URL), or click Cancel to abandon creating the link (or new URL).
