Links allow readers to quickly navigate to relevant content—both internally to other pages and externally to other resources on the web. Links should be contextual and never inserted into a document as a raw URL. Instead a link within a document should be a descriptive link. 

Inserting a link can be accomplished by entering editing mode and doing the following

  1. On the editing toolbar select the 'Insert link' button depicted below.
