Link pages

The idea behind linking pages is that one refers to the other by a link. Such as when you are on a page A it contains a link to a page B. Then you have to first edit A, choose a link text “go to B” and then make that text refer to page B. Always remember to save your pages by either “Update” or “Publish”.

Steps:

• Make sure you have both the pages available: the page you want to link from, and the page you want to link to
• Click “Pages -> All Pages”
• Choose the page you want to link from by clicking its header
• Go inside the area for editing, and add the text you would like to link with
• Mark the new small text by selecting it (draw the cursor over it so it becomes blue)
• In the toolbar above the textarea there is a tool for links which looks like a small chain
• Click the chain-tool
• A small dialog comes up, where you choose the page you want to link to
• When you have selected the right page (they can be named similar and it is a global search space), then click “Add Link”
• Now the two pages are united by a link
• Click “Update” to make sure it is saved
• View the page by clicking “View page”

Upload media and link
