In an open editable region, highlight the text that you want to turn into a link.
In the toolbar, click the Insert Link button.
To insert an external link, i.e. a URL not managed in OU Campus, copy and paste it
into the URL field.
To insert an internal link, select the file browser icon to the right of the URL field.
Navigate through the file structure to select the page you want to link to. After
you have chosen a page, select Insert.
Notice what appears in the URL field. This is a dependency tag. OU Campus uses something
called Dependency Manager to keep track of and link to internal files. Each file is
assigned a unique tag that is inserted into links. This way, the link remains valid
even when the file is moved or renamed (though there’s nothing we can do about deleted
files).
Other fields include Title, which is the text that displays when you hover your cursor
over the link; Target, where you can choose if the link opens in a new window or not;
and Class, where you can apply a style to the link. The Advanced tab also provides
additional configuration options.
Finally, click OK to place your link on the page. To edit an existing link, place
your cursor in it and then select the Insert/edit Link icon from the toolbar. The
Remove Link button is also available next to it.
