5. Editing Options

  • Change fonts and use other standard text editor options to format your document.

6. Creating Links

  • To create a link to an existing document:

    • Publish the file as a draft first, so it won't be visible to other users yet.
    • Navigate to the document you want to link.
    • Ensure you are on the Home screen, not the Admin screen, to use this option.
    • Click on the arrow on the file tile and select Copy link.
  • Navigate back to your document, click Edit, and select the three dots to access more options.

  • Highlight the text where you want the link, click Link, and paste the copied link.

  • You can also create external links using the same method.
