Documents
Before adding a link to your page, please ensure that any PDFs or other documents you would like to link to have been added to the media library first. That process is covered in the Managing Images and Documents section.
Link Text
When linking to a document, webpage, or email, it's crucial to use clear link text. This text informs users where the link will lead them. Providing descriptive link text such as the destination's title rather than generic terms like "click here" or "learn more" benefits all users. It ensures everyone, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, can better comprehend the purpose of each link on the page.
