How do I link text?

In a text area, you can highlight specific text and link it using the "insert link" option in the WYSIWYG menu.

In the editor:

  1. Click on the text area (Paragraph, Heading, or List block) that you want to link.

Further Customization

Link Color

In the Content Properties box to the right, use the Link color area to set the color of all links within that text section. This will need to be repeated for separate text content areas or set for the entire template on the Settings tab.

The "Link Color" area of a text content block is clicked, expanding the "Content Properties" area. The "link color" is then changed to affect the color of the link.


 Link Underline

In the Insert link pop-up menu, uncheck the Underline link checkbox, then click OK to prevent the link from being underlined

A gif where the "insert link" option is selected for already linked text is clicked. The "Underline Link" box is unchecked, then saved. The linked text then has no underline

Did you know it is also possible to link your text to send an email, dial a phone number, or send a text message?

Simply repeat the process detailed above, then click the Link Type drop-down menu to explore other options:
