# Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks allow you to add clickable links to your HTML template that direct users to web pages or other online resources. Use this feature when drafting contracts or agreements to link to terms and conditions, privacy policies, or supporting documentation without cluttering your document. In the HTML Template editor, you can insert hyperlinks with custom display text and specify the destination URL.

## Insert a hyperlink

Add clickable links to your document that direct users to external URLs.

1. In the HTML Template editor, place your cursor where you want the hyperlink to appear.
2. On the toolbar, click **Insert Hyperlink**.
3. A popup will open with hyperlink settings.
4. Configure the hyperlink:
   - **Display Text:** Enter the text that should appear as the clickable link
   - **Link type:** URL (this is the default option and is already displayed)
   - **URL:** Enter the web address where users should be directed when clicking the link
5. Click **OK** to insert the hyperlink.

**Example:**
- Display Text: "Visit our website"
- Link type: URL
- URL: https://www.example.com

The text "Visit our website" will appear as a clickable link in the document.

> **Info**
>
> - The Display Text is what users will see in the document, while the URL is the actual web address they'll be taken to when clicking the link
> - Use clear, descriptive text for Display Text instead of generic phrases like "Click here" (e.g., use "View our Privacy Policy" instead)
> - Always enter complete, valid URLs starting with `http://` or `https://` (e.g., `https://www.example.com`, not `www.example.com`)

## Manage & edit hyperlinks

Once a hyperlink is inserted, you can modify it, move it, or remove it entirely.

### Edit a hyperlink

1. **Right-click** on the hyperlink in the editor.
2. Select **Edit link** from the context menu.
3. The hyperlink properties popup will open with current settings.
4. Make your desired changes to Display Text or URL.
5. Click **OK** to save changes.

### Preview hyperlink

View how your hyperlink will appear in the document before finalizing.

1. Hover over the hyperlink in the editor to see a preview of the link destination.
2. To test the link functionality, use the **Preview** button in the bottom-left corner of the editor.
3. Click on the hyperlink in preview mode to verify it directs to the correct URL.

### Move or duplicate a hyperlink

1. **Right-click** the hyperlink.
2. Select **Cut** or **Copy**.
3. Move your cursor to the new location and right-click **Paste**.

### Remove a hyperlink

1. Select the hyperlink text in the editor.
2. In the toolbar panel, click **Remove Hyperlink**.
3. The hyperlink will be removed, but the text will remain.

> **Info — NOTE**
>
> Removing a hyperlink only removes the clickable link, not the text itself. The Display Text will remain as regular text in your document.
