Links

Inserting a Link

Select text and press Ctrl + K (or Cmd + K on Mac) to open the link editor. Enter the URL and press Enter. You can also use the link button (chain icon) in the toolbar, or paste a URL onto selected text to convert it into a link.

Auto-Link Detection

The editor automatically detects URLs as you type. When you type or paste a full URL (starting with http:// or https://), it is automatically converted into a clickable link.

This also powers the auto-embed feature -- when a URL matches a supported service (YouTube, Twitter), the editor offers to convert it into a rich embed.

Floating Link Editor

Click on any existing link to reveal the floating link editor. From here you can:

• View the URL -- see where the link points
• Edit the URL -- click the edit icon to change the destination
• Open the link -- click to open in a new tab for verification
• Remove the link -- click the unlink icon to convert back to plain text

Link Behavior

• Teachers: links open in a new tab by default during editing
• Students: links open in a new tab so students are not navigated away from their lesson

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I link to another lesson in my course?

Yes. Copy the URL of the target lesson and paste it as a link. Students will be able to navigate directly.
