Links connect your pages to the rest of your work. Shapes, text, sticky notes, images and tables can all become clickable jump points, so a page can point at the things it describes instead of just naming them.
Linking an Element
Give a shape, text, sticky note, image or table a link (arrows and lines take none), and it gains a small "Follow link" badge whose hover card names the target. A link can point at:
- A tab in the same design, or a specific element on another tab.
- Another design entirely.
- An external URL, which opens in a new browser tab.
To add one, right-click the element and press Add Link in the row of buttons along the top of its menu (it reads Edit Link once there is one). The Link element dialog opens on three choices:
- External URL: type a Web address and press Save link (or Enter). Leave off the
https://and it is added for you. - Tab: pick one of the design's tabs.
- Design: pick one of your other designs.
To change a link, open the same dialog again and pick a new target; the Remove link button at its foot takes the link off. The link follows the element if you move it, and like any edit it can be undone. For more on tab and element targets, see Linking Across Tabs.
For safety, only http, https, and mailto addresses are allowed as external links. Other URL
schemes are blocked.
