4.) Choose whether you would like the link to open in the current window or a new window (the general rule of thumb is that internal content, contained within the school website, should open in the same window, external content, on other websites, should open in a new window.)

    • If you are linking to another page within the school website, you can toggle the ‘Or link to existing content’ tool and use the search function to find the appropriate page
    • If you are linking to a page that is not part of the school website, make sure to enter the full URL (e.g. http://www.example.com).

5.) Click ‘Add Link’.
