Open the Pages panel to add links by clicking the + icon next to your desired section. You can link to:

External Websites:

  • Select "Link" from the menu
  • Enter your link title
  • Choose "URL" from the dropdown
  • Enter the website address
  • Toggle "Open in new tab" if desired

Email Addresses:

  • Select "Email" from the dropdown
  • Enter the email address
  • Optionally add CC/BCC recipients
  • Add default subject and body text if needed
  • Recipients can edit prefilled content before sending

Phone Numbers:

  • Choose "Phone" from the dropdown
  • Enter the full number with country/area code
  • Select "Call" or "Text" functionality
  • Don't include leading zeros

Files:

  • Pick "File" from the dropdown
  • Upload a new file or select existing one
  • Files will download or open in new tab
  • Supported formats: PDFs, audio, etc.

Category/Tag Links:

  • Use URL dropdown menu
  • Select categories or tags
  • Links will filter collection content

To Remove Links:

  1. Open Pages panel
  2. Hover over link
  3. Click trash icon
  4. Confirm deletion

For dropdown menus, create the link first then drag it into position or click "Add Page" below the dropdown.

Remember: You don't need to manually link site pages - they're automatically added when you create them. Just enable visibility if not showing.

Note: Some files may open in new tabs regardless of settings. Anchor links, individual posts/products, gallery images and search pages should use direct URLs.
